How to book

You can book online or by phone. We would recommend booking online if possible, as our phones can get very busy when each booking period opens.

You can book from each of the following pages: Eugene Onegin, Rigoletto, The Merry Widow, Double bill of Le Villi and Margot la Rouge, The Pirates of Penzance and the Royal Ballet School.

Picnics can be purchased from the Food and Drinks page.

Seating Plan 

Access

At Opera Holland Park we aim to be as accessible as possible. You can find the full details of our access offering here, and if you have any additional questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call our Box Office on 0300 999 1000 or email us at Box.Office@operahollandpark.com.

As part of the 2020 Season, we will be holding a Discovery Matinee performance of Rigoletto on Sunday 21 June at 2pm. This performance will be audio-described, and a Touch Tour will be available at 1pm. This will also be a Relaxed Performance, which offers a laid-back approach to noises and movement from the audience, allowing everyone to relax and respond naturally. Full details of the Discovery Matinee are available here.

Picnics

As in previous years, you can book a picnic table in one of our four picnic areas to eat on site before the performance and during the interval. When booking, please select the number of tables you need, not the number of people who will be eating with you. You must ensure that you book enough tables to accommodate your whole party, as we are unable to add extra seats to tables. You can book picnic tables from this page.

If you wish to order a picnic hamper for your pre-show meal, you can do this directly through one of our catering partners. Please contact laima.arlauskaite@operahollandpark.com for details. Don’t forget that if you book a picnic hamper, you will still need to book a picnic table for the correct performance.

Member Pricing

If you are a Member or Supporter of Opera Holland Park, you are entitled to Member Pricing. This offers a saving of up to £8 per ticket across all our 2020 Season operas and events, as well as £5 off on picnic tables.

When booking online, you must log in using the email address associated with your Membership to ensure your discounts are applied. Please note that Member Pricing is applied to the total in your Basket during the final stage of the booking process, so you may not see it straight away.

To take advantage of Member Pricing, you can join as a Silver Member for £75 at any time. Find out more here.
