Step back in time at Royal Opera House Family Sundays

Family Sundays at the Royal Opera House are a reminder that world-class cultural institutions can feel welcoming, playful and inspiring for young audiences. The next set of workshops celebrates love and friendship, inviting families to step into the sights and sounds of 1950s New York.

Through dance, music and imaginative dress-up, children are encouraged to explore storytelling in a hands-on way. Rather than sitting and watching, families move together through creative activities that introduce the building blocks of opera and ballet in a relaxed, age-appropriate format.

Set within one of London’s most iconic theatres, the sessions feel special from the moment you arrive. The Royal Opera House becomes a space for play and curiosity, where children can experiment with movement, express emotions and build confidence. Parents often find themselves just as immersed, swept up in the nostalgia and creativity of the era.

Workshops take place on 18 January and 1 February, and are suitable for children aged 3 to 10 years. Tickets for under-18s are priced at £10, making it an affordable way to introduce children to the performing arts in a supportive environment.

For families looking to nurture creativity while sharing a memorable experience, these Family Sundays strike a thoughtful balance between fun and cultural discovery.
