Community singing - passport to a happy, harmonious, productive day.

We all know that eating breakfast is the key to starting the day properly. But what is the other important physical activity required to get off on the right foot?
The answer? Communal singing. Yes you heard me correctly. Communal singing. That’s the sincere belief of the man running this year’s Copenhagen Opera Festival, who is trying to convince Danes and other nationalities that singing together is good for harmony in the work place, productivity and general well being. Every day this week he has been leading hundreds of people in sing alongs in one of the city’s main squares, in the partial hope that traditional Danish songs will encourage the participants to consider embracing opera. Malcolm Brabant went along to one of these morning sessions.
