Schools' Matinees
The Taylor Family Foundation Schools’ Matinees 2013/14 Season
Giving young people unforgettable experiences with £7.50 tickets to the world’s best ballet and opera
What are Schools’ Matinees?
Every year the Schools’ Matinees programme gives teachers the opportunity to bring their students, aged 8-18, to special matinee performances of six of the season’s Royal Opera House productions.
As an incredible opportunity to introduce young people to the world-class ballet and opera produced by the Royal Opera House, our Schools’ Matinees are hugely popular and reach over 10,000 school children from across the UK each year.
All of our Schools’ Matinees can be used to support KS2, KS3 and KS4 english, art and design, PE, drama and music curriculum.
Tickets are just £7.50 each for both students and teachers.
We may also be able to assist you with your travel costs with a travel grant, made possible by The Taylor Family Foundation, which you can apply for at the same time as applying for your tickets.
