Children and families
We love to share our passion for opera and ballet with as many people as possible. We create performances in which children, teenagers and families can experience the magic of ballet and opera. We also organise many other youth and family activities: from tours throughout our theatre to projects in which children and/or adults can shine on stage themselves.
