A meaningful activity like attending an evening of high-quality opera with family and friends can help to overcome isolation and broaden horizons, something which is particularly important for our older audiences. This is why we continue to offer free opera tickets for those over the age of 65.
2024 Season
Applications for Free Tickets for Over 65s for the 2024 Season are now closed. We will email successful applicants the W/C April 22. If you have not been contacted, on this occasion your application was unsuccessful.
Free Tickets for Over 65s will be available for the following dates in the 2024 Season:
- Tosca 9 June at 2pm (Discovery Matinee)
- The Barber of Seville 16 June at 2pm (Discovery Matinee)
- The Yeomen of the Guard 10 August at 2pm (Discovery Matinee)
How to apply
Applications for this scheme can be made either individually or as part of a community group, although we actively encourage our audiences to apply as part of an organised group. Organised community groups might include day centres, retirement cafés, older persons’ forums, or groups formed by charities such as Age UK or Contact the Elderly.
Please note: if applying as part of a community group, you can apply for up to 10 tickets per performance. If you are applying as an individual, you may apply for a maximum of 2. When making your application, please mark on the form if you or any of your party have any access needs, and we will ensure that these are accommodated. Find out more about accessibility at our theatre.
