An associated series of Enjoy Opera workshops and events has also been programmed to enhance and support your visit: Who is it for? Although the Enjoy Opera scheme is aimed at secondary schools, we also welcome enquiries from primary schools and are able to recommend suitable productions for this age group. In addition to school groups, we also welcome singing or voice pupils (under the age of 18), provided they are in a group and accompanied by their teacher. What productions can you see? Tickets are available for a range of productions that includes works suitable for first-timers alongside more challenging operas for more experienced students. If you would like some advice about what is most suitable for your particular group please call ENO Baylis. why ENO? All ENO productions are performed in English, making them more accessible for young people. As it is can be difficult to follow the sung dialogue, particularly when more than one character is singing at once, all Enjoy Opera seats are positioned in an area where surtitles are visible, enhancing the experience for your students. How can I enhance our visit? Workshops Workshops take place on the afternoon of selected performances and are the ideal preparation for an opera and a great way to introduce students to the London Coliseum. Lasting two hours, these practical sessions offer an introduction to the opera through a combination of singing, drama, improvisation and discussion. Workshops are highly recommended as an introduction to opera for first-time groups.
