Seats for our open main rehearsals are allocated in order of enrolment, with priority given to first-time visitors. In autumn 2022, the maximum group size is two school classes or 30 people due to restricted audience numbers. Please note that bookings are only accepted via the application form on our Finnish site and according to the schedule given below. Please see the enrolment instructions.
Groups who have applied for seats will receive confirmation of successful enrolment within two to three weeks. Some dress rehearsals also include production-specific workshops. These will be announced separately to those who have successfully enrolled in the rehearsal in question. Please note that the current schedule may change.
