PRIMARY SCHOOLS | THE FROG PRINCE

A modern day adaption of the classic Grimm tale hopping around the Eyre Peninsula, Riverland and Adelaide Hills as part of the 2025 DreamBIG Children’s Festival.

The Frog Prince follows the journey of a spoiled princess who encounters a sassy frog and an unlikely friendship blossoms. They embark on a fantastical and uplifting adventure learning lessons about friendship, personal identity and the importance of looking after the environment along the way.

In addition to a contemporary storyline, the show features a rich variety of popular operatic arias including Mozart, Rossini and Bizet, revisited to transport some of the greatest composers of all time to the 21^st century for a fun and accessible experience for our kids.

SECONDARY SCHOOLS | OPEN ACCESS TO A DRESS REHEARSAL

Do you remember your first live opera? The very first time you heard a full orchestra playing, or a lyric singer belting out an aria?

We want more young people to have access to the wonder and awe of opera. That’s why we are opening our dress rehearsals at Her Majesty’s Theatre to secondary schools students.

Bookings for the Lucia di Lammermoor final dress rehearsal are now closed.
