The UK premiere of an opera that has become a modern classic in the USA, Mark Adamo’s affectionate adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age novel. 

Our Discovery Matinees welcome people who want to try opera out for the first time in a Relaxed environment, and those who love opera but find the normal theatre-going experience inaccessible. Every Discovery Matinee will be adapted to suit people who find it difficult to follow the usual conventions of theatre behaviour, and those who prefer a more relaxed environment.

Ticket prices are reduced for the Discovery Matinees with prices ranging from £10–50, with half price access tickets available for disabled people and a companion or carer.

Discovery Matinees will also be audio-described for blind and partially-sighted audiences, with additional commentary explaining the action on stage, including singers’ body language, expressions and movements.

We hope a 2pm start to each Discovery Matinee will allow families to fall in love with opera together.
