Young RBO can book up to two tickets per performance. We reserve the right to cancel or refund any ticket purchases over and above this limit.
The following 2024/25 Season performances are not eligible for Young RBO booking:
- On the top price band
- For boxes
- On Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays (except for for certain individual events)
- For the first night performances of Eugene Onegin, The Tales of Hoffmann, MaddAddam, Festen and Semele
- For all performances of Die Walküre and Cinderella
Young RBO tickets are not available for Friday evening performances and all Saturday and Sunday performances, or select opening nights.
If you cannot see any Young RBO tickets available for an eligible performance, it is likely the Young RBO allocation for that performance has already sold out. Further tickets may become available for some performances, so we encourage you to check back closer to the performance date.
Our special Young RBO nights are performances exclusively available to Young RBO members, or performances in which the entire amphitheatre has been reserved for Young RBO members. You can find out more below.
YOUNG RBO NIGHTS
Enjoy a very special night out at the theatre with friends on our Young RBO nights. On select nights of the year, we reserve either the amphitheatre or the whole auditorium for Young RBO members.
Experience world class opera and ballet in a fantastic atmosphere, surrounded by other young people.
We currently have two upcoming Young RBO Nights:
• La bohéme – 14 January 2025
• Romeo and Juliet – 15 May 2025
For both of these performances, the whole auditorium is reserved for Young RBO members. If you cannot currently see any tickets available please check back later, as we expect to release additional tickets for both performances on an ongoing basis.
