Events For Families
Family Day Matinees
At least once a year, Seattle Opera designates a Sunday "Family Day" matinee. In 2013, we are doing it for both Cinderella on January 20th, and La Bohème on March 10th. At these specially designated performances, all students 18 and under in the company of an adult pay only $15 for most any seat. Family Days also feature special student-oriented activities.
