Taking opera and ballet into your own hands
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.
A ballet that will take you by storm
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. Autumn 2020 is inspired by ballet Le Corsaire.

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.
