School performances
We offer special school matinees: catchy operas and dance performances tailored for young ears and eyes, to help children experience the magic of dance, music, and theatre through school. The school matinees are scheduled at a convenient time in the morning or early afternoon so that everyone can return to school on time.
Free bus transportation
We want as many children as possible from across the country to attend our school performances. That is why, in the 2022-2023 school year, schools will be able to take a free bus to our theatre. The Turing Foundation has made it possible for Dutch National Opera & Ballet to organise and pay for bus transportation to school matinees. (This opportunity is only available to schools that are unable to use the Amsterdam Culture Bus or other local transportation options).
