Schools Concert

Step into the wonderful world of opera and classical music with Welsh National Opera. 

Our free concert aims to inspire and increase love of music and creativity for pupils from year 3 to 7. This year the audience will be encouraged to use their singing voice, turn on their listening ears and delve into the vibrant world of birds!

Fun, lively and engaging, expect popular hits and less familiar pieces from opera, film, and television, brought to life by the world class WNO Orchestra and a group of sensational soloists. The perfect opportunity to hear and enjoy live music, up close and personal, in a relaxed setting.
 
Our live Schools Concerts are designed to support the Curriculum for Wales and National Curriculum in England and augmented by a free resource pack for teachers to support classroom learning before and after the concert (available online from September 2025).
