To further assist the process of introducing children and young adults to opera, the Company has created the opportunity to see it in its purest form.

In Wellington schools are offered tickets at a reduced rate to the final dress rehearsal of each opera.

In Auckland students are able to attend a mid-week matinee performance at a much reduced cost.

This is a fantastic chance for students to see an entire opera at performance standard, something most would normally not be able to experience.
