Cheap Opera for students/under 30s

panpipe

I have just found and joined a scheme that English National Opera run, called 'Access all Arias'. It enables students and anyone up to the age of 30 to join (for free), and book tickets for significantly cheaper than the standard rate - tickets will be £10, £20 or £30, where top price tickets would normally be around £100!

Glad to see opera companies making the effort to attract a wider range of visitors, where previously their prices have been so high it becomes elitist.

I'm a member of Access all Arias, and it's great - the other really good thing about it is that if the member is under 30, they can take someone of any age with them, so I quite frequently take one of my parents.

We bought stalls tickets (£30 each - brilliant) and though we were quite far on the right hand side, right next to a box, it wasn't restricted view at all.
