Under 35s can dip their toe into the world of opera with major ticket discounts and a sneak peek behind the curtain at Opera Australia’s (OA) new production of La Bohème when it premieres at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne this November.
Members of OA’s Under 35s program can enter a ballot for tickets starting at $49 and an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour for an exciting window into the costumes, sets and preparation needed to get a grand scale opera up on stage each night.
Since the program began in 2024, more than 10,000 members have signed up for access to discounted tickets and exclusive events, giving the opera curious an opportunity to learn more about the artform and the company.
OA’s Director of Opera Amy Lane said “One of the most exciting and important parts of my role at Opera Australia, is helping to create opportunities for new audiences to discover the magic of opera. This production of La Bohème is a brilliant example of how spell-binding and all-encompassing opera can be – from the sublime music performed by some of our finest singers and musicians to the stunning design of its hand-crafted sets, prop and costumes.
“It’s imperative to make this experience more accessible to young audiences and it is always such a joy to be able to share this incredible artform with people for the first time.”
La Bohème is one of the world’s most famous operas and this brand-new production by visionary Australian director Constantine Costi is a luscious, painting inspired work, set in a snow-kissed Paris where one of the great tragic love stories unfolds amongst beautifully crafted costumes, hand-painted set pieces and performed by some of OA’s finest singers.
The ballot is open until Wednesday 21 October with 100 discounted tickets and behind-the-scenes experiences up for grabs. A-reserve tickets available at $99 with B, C and D-reserve $49 each.
La Bohème premieres at the Regent Theatre, Melbourne from 7-18 November.
