During the event, audiences are invited to watch the Finnish National Ballet’s rehearsals, and the Opera House opens its doors to dancers of various genres, with a particular focus on street dance and street dance culture. Dance groups and other attendees will also have the opportunity to join two street dance classes led by esteemed instructors.

Introductions, given before performances, explore the world around the work being performed. You will watch the performance with new eyes once you have been given background information and interesting facts about the origins of the work, about the characters and about the story.
The First Taste of Opera & Ballet will wake up all the senses of both babies and their parents. We will sing, play, move, listen, look and touch – no previous experience necessary!
