First opera and ballet experiences for families

- Tickets for £5 | £10 | £15 | £20
- A morning of fun activities from 10am
Have you ever wanted to come to the opera or ballet with your family but decided against it because of the price of tickets, or because you’re not so sure it’s something that your children would enjoy?
If you would like your family to experience opera or ballet in one of the most prestigious and beautiful theatres in the world and don’t want to break the bank, why not register for our family scheme.

Please note, that because our next performance is not until next year, we will be confirming eligibility to attend and contacting you with further information about booking intermittently over the summer period.
If you have any queries about your eligibility, or you haven’t yet heard from us, please contact welcomeperformances@roh.org.uk
PLEASE NOTE: Upon initial successful registration, please click on the ‘Contact Details’ link under ‘Account’ and add your postal address. Failing to provide your postal address could mean that you are deemed ineligible to book tickets for a Welcome Performance.
If you have bought tickets to a performance on the main stage here before, our automatic system may not let you proceed. If you are entirely new to the Royal Opera House, you should receive a confirmation email inviting you to book online within a week of registration. It should be noted that Welcome Performances are created to introduce families to the Royal Opera House, and due to consistently high demand for tickets, we regret that families may only be offered a single opportunity to attend.
If you have any queries, please get in touch via welcomeperformances@roh.org.uk
