OPERA WORKSHOPS FOR SCHOOLS

ENGLISH NATIONAL OPERA

ENO Baylis, ENO’s Learning and Participation team, are very proud of the work they do with schools, and enjoy forming strong relationships with teachers and students alike. They are committed to working closely with teachers and students to develop projects for schools and young people that respond to their needs and interests.

Enjoy Opera is a programme that gives secondary school groups the opportunity to attend a selection of ENO performances at the London Coliseum for only £8 a ticket – a saving of up to £30! For certain productions there are preperformance workshops to enhance and support your visit. Workshops vary depending on the production, are fully participatory and will involve anything from singing to movement, drama, improvisation and discussion.
