Saturday Mornings at the Opera

Introduce your family to the magic of opera. Children enjoy an interactive, family-friendly opera under the glittering chandeliers of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. The whole family will make lasting memories and have an unforgettable experience.

Before the show, little ones get their wiggles out with a full hour of music, dance, and art workshops. They will create special souvenirs to remember their first (or second, or third) time at the opera. Make Saturday Mornings at the Opera your family tradition. We’ve saved a seat just for you.
