Under 35? Get great value opera tickets
Access great discounts all year-round, and behind-the-scenes opportunities — for free!*
Ever wanted to give opera a try? Or maybe you’re already developing a taste for it, and want even more of this great art form in your diet? Here’s your chance.
We believe opera is for everyone, which is why we are determined to make opera more accessible for younger audiences.
If you're 35 and under, you’re invited to register for Under 35s. It’s free (and commitment-free) and gives you access to the following benefits:
15% discount to opera performances*
Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be able to log into our website and buy tickets to most opera performances for 15% off! You can also bring a friend in the same age bracket, who can book for the same price.
The opportunity to access heavily discounted tickets.
If 15% wasn’t enough, if you’ve signed up we’ll let you know throughout the year when we have major discounts available for Under 35s.
The chance to glimpse behind the scenes.
We’ll be offering you the opportunity to meet artists and fellow young opera fans, go behind the scenes and attend special events for free.
Join the Under 35s program

For tickets purchased through the program, you (and your guest) will be required to show proof of age when entering the venue to verify your age.

*By signing up to Under 35s, you declare that you are aged 35 or under. You may be required to provide proof of age upon registration and Opera Australia reserves the right to reject any membership for a person it has reason to believe is not aged 35 or under. Your membership will be automatically cancelled when you turn 36. Any person attending on an Under 35s ticket will be required to show valid proof of age. This includes both members and any guests with an Under 35s ticket. Those without a valid ID, or who are not aged 35 or under, will be refused entry. Discounts cannot be applied to tickets retroactively – tickets already purchased cannot be refunded in favour of an Under 35s ticket. Under 35s discounts cannot be used in conjunction with other offers. Tickets are strictly subject to availability. Opera Australia reserves the right to exclude any performances or price reserves from Under 35s discounts. All offers associated with Under 35s membership are valid until 31 December 2024.
