Opera Magic is a lively and engaging family concert designed as a joyful first introduction to opera for children and their families.

Packed with music, drama and audience interaction, Opera Magic offers an accessible and memorable live opera experience for young listeners.

Originally created for the Windsor Festival, the programme has since introduced thousands of children to the magical world of opera through storytelling and performance.

I didn’t know opera was so much fun, I want to go to see an opera now! Can we have Opera Magic back again soon? I loved it – I want to become an opera singer!
Children who attended Opera Magic
My daughter came home this afternoon and had so much to say about it – she said it was better than the new Aladdin movie (that’s impressive!). She told me about it from start to finish – this has been a massive talking point this evening! Worth every penny! Thank you so much for giving our children this opportunity.
