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 theatrical tours throughout our theatre to projects in which children can shine on stage themselves.

Participatie
Naast voorstellingen en activiteiten voor scholen en families, zijn er ook diverse projecten waarmee we specifieke doelgroepen de kans willen geven opera en ballet te ontdekken en zich te uiten door middel van dans en zang.
