The formal representation of the royal family was in attendance by Prince Edward, the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II. This show had an international cast of children from more than 50 countries of the world and Staged directed and produced by Steve Elliott. The show’s purpose was to bring an international message of Peace to Humanity! Olgà was singing one of the solo parts and was part of this grandious show production that first was shown in Somerset and then grand premier in Bernard Show theater in London.
