Sunday 29 November 2015
I am delighted to invite you to come to the Royal Opera House for a family day. Open to all parents and children enrolled and not enrolled in our classes, brothers and sisters, all are welcome to join.
This is an event where the ROH opens doors for families to explore its artists and the world of opera and ballet. There will be creative activities for all in an informal setting.
Every family day is different, but example activities running throughout the day are:
- live music
- dance activities
- informal performances
- make-up
- costume dressing up etc.
Please note activities are for 6 year-olds and up; younger children are welcome but some activities may not be fully suitable for them.
Please note this is not a performance we are going to see, this is an event where the activities run in an informal setting in the different areas of the building.
I have been in contact with the ROH' Education department and on our date the themes will include The Nutcracker. It will be magical!
I will receive you and introduce the Royal Opera House:
- its history and the Royal Ballet Company
- its connection with The Royal Ballet School
- current artists and work
- guided tour in the outside and public areas inside
- I will be accompanying you throughout the day.

Please note:
- Every child that takes part in the activities must have a ticket.
- Tickets must be paid in advance until Saturday 28 November in person in class or by bank transfer. I won't be able to purchase any ticket that has not been paid.
- A group of 40 people have already their tickets reserved. If you still wish to join us, the Royal Opera House releases 70-100 day tickets on the day, which is unlikely to sold out. I am happy to meet you there at 10am on the day to purchase the tickets and include you in our group.
