Interactive workshops

Opera & Ballet in Action

In Opera & Ballet in Action workshops, 5 to 6 years olds can experience the fascinating world of opera and ballet. Participants learn about a selected Main Stage production through hands-on activities, such as making music, dancing, and drama. The workshops last approximately 1 hour and are held in Finnish.

Enrolment for workshops for daycare and pre-school groups in autumn 2025 has started. The theme of the autumn 2025 workshops is the Cinderella ballet.
