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! These invigorating half-hour workshops are either for infants (about 0 to 9 months) or babies who can already crawl (about 10 to 18 months). Admission is free. Every baby must be accompanied by an adult.
Theme of the workshops in autumn is the Swan Lake.
31 Aug –3 Sep (10–18 months), Enrol here.
21–24 Sep (0–9 months), Enrol here.
12–15 Oct (10–18 months), Enrol here.
9–12 Nov (0–9 months), Enrol here.
Workshops start at 10 am, 11.30 am, 1 pm and 2.30 pm unless otherwise specified. The duration of each workshop is 30 min.
The workshops are held only in Finnish.
Please note that every participant will need an active e-mail address for confirming the registration. If the workshops are already full, you can registrate and queue for possible cancellations. When registrating yourself, it is also possible to registrate your friend, relative or another adult and baby to the event.

Good to know
Accessible and spacious toilets are available in the foyer of Almi Hall. We do not have a separate childcare room. There is a microwave oven in the foyer that can be used.
Please note that every baby must be accompanied by an adult, yet we do not let in additional audience who have not registrated to the event (for example family members or friends) in order to guarantee a peaceful event for everyone.
