Due to the coronavirus epidemic the Opera House is closed, and all the remaining Opera and Ballet performances of the spring season are cancelled. We want to secure the health and safety of our audiences and our staff.
The second part of Richard Wagner’s RING tetralogy, Die Walküre, and the last ballet premiere of the spring, COW, will be postponed to autumn season.
In Opera & Ballet in Action workshops, 5 to 6 years olds will experience the fascinating world of opera and ballet by playing instruments, dancing, and making art and crafts.
The Opera & Ballet in Action workshops focus on a different art form each month. The workshops are always themed on a main auditorium production of the current repertoire. The duration of each workshop is 1h 30min.
As well as exploring different art forms, every workshop includes crafting a souvenir to take home.

I really liked doing the crafts. Jumping on the circular platforms was fun.
It was fun to get dressed up. I liked to dance the Dance of the Little Swans.
It was fun to eat my packed snack at the opera.
The best thing was the performance of Swan Lake. I was the wizard.
