Express Yourself

The Grand Opera House believes that creativity should be open to everyone. That's why the Creative Learning team's work extends beyond school-aged children, working with people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.

From large scale productions like the annual Summer Youth Production to one-off workshops, community projects and events, the Theatre aims to use a diverse range of art-forms to inspire, engage and grow the curious minds of children and adults across the community.
