For Bronte Forrester, her end-of-year project as a girl with a fine voice, a bunch of talented friends and a supportive teaching group is Stockholm, which is touted as a gripping tale of crime, romance and betrayal.
Woden Tradies was her launching pad, and far away from the metallic clanking of poker machines, in a small room, the beautiful voices of Bronte and Kat Reed, with backing from the talented musicians, presented some spine-chilling moments when these girls showed they can really sing.
Not quite the cold shiver a Dannii Minogue seems to get with the endless trail of hopefuls on the X Factor, but definitely a shock with the throaty jazz sound coming from girls.
Pleased with the performances was Therese Rayner, opera teacher and valued adviser for the project, as well as the bunch from Bosom Buddies who benefitted from the launch and will too from the staging later in the year.
