FOR over 500 special guests, the journey to Queen’s Hall, St Ann's, last weekend, meant being transported to a world of wonder and musical magic featuring a special performance by the Marionettes Chorale, which was sponsored by energy company bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT).

This highly anticipated annual tradition, spanning over 40 years, saw dozens of volunteers giving a warm welcome to guests who came from various humanitarian institutions including elderly homes, children’s homes, youth-based organisations and refugee associations to witness the acclaimed performance of Christmas with the Marionettes.

For Joshua Villafana of the Lady Hochoy Home, it was yet another unforgettable experience, a bpTT release said on December 18.
