A Safer Space

Welcome to the Finnish National Opera and Ballet. Here, both our audiences and our staff are committed to safer space principles. These are based on our values: creativity, appreciation, responsibility and openness.

Safer space principles

Everyone has the right to enjoy art in a safe environment. We embrace human diversity.

We treat one another with respect. We approach each other as individuals and do not make assumptions about, for example, age, gender, identity, sexual orientation, ethnic background or physical characteristics.

We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination or inappropriate language or behaviour. Being considerate helps ensure a positive experience for everyone, whether audience members or staff.

We take action together. If you experience or witness inappropriate behaviour, please inform a member of staff. You can also contact us by email at turvallisempitila[at]opera.fi
