With The Adventures of Pinocchio smashing box office records, next year the Grand Opera House premieres another spectacular pantomime - The Little Mermaid.

Northern Ireland's biggest panto welcomes over 76,000 people every year and with tickets already selling fast, don't delay in securing your tickets for the unmissable event of the festive season.

The Little Mermaid brings you all the hallmark features of a traditional Grand Opera House panto with thrilling song-and-dance, glittering costumes, dazzling staging and special effects, and laugh-out-loud comedy.

Join Ariel, the bravest mermaid in King Triton’s kingdom, as she fights off the evil Sea Witch who stole her voice in return for making her dream of living amongst humans come true.

Panto Dame May McFettridge makes a splash as Queen May in her record-breaking 36^th Grand Opera House panto season alongside her fin-tastic friends. Join them as they dive to the depths of the ocean in an exhilarating theatrical extravaganza like you’ve never seen before.

The enchanting fairytale is spectacularly brought to life from page to stage by the same team behind The Adventures of Pinocchio, The Pantomime Adventures of Peter Pan, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and is staged, once again, by the biggest pantomime company in the world.

The Grand Opera House opened with a pantomime in December 1895, and for 130 years has welcomed generations of families to be part of the panto magic!

Don’t let your family and friends miss out, dive in and secure your seats early for this mesmerising underwater adventure!
