Experience even more
A My Muse & Me membership offers more than just discounts on tickets.
Free activities
For every opera and ballet production, a special activity is organised once, ranging from a meet & greet with an artist or designer to an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour. It’s a unique opportunity to get a closer look at the creative process.
Shared experiences
These events allow you to explore different art forms and meet other young visitors: often during an informal drink on the entresol. It’s the perfect way to round off the evening together.
Last-minute sprint
Got a free evening at the last minute? As a My Muse & Me member, you can sprint: book last-minute tickets at a discount for any remaining performances, including those at the weekend.
