Scottish Opera
Access statement
Scottish Opera is committed to bringing the widest possible range of opera, performed to the highest possible standards, to the maximum audience throughout Scotland. We want to ensure that everyone can enjoy the full opera experience, and make your visit as easy as possible. The majority of venues that we visit are wheelchair accessible and other services may be provided (please check individual venue information for details). Guide dogs are welcome.
For those who are visually impaired, our audio-described performances include a live commentary, describing the action on stage without compromising the music. As part of the experience, a recorded introduction to the opera is provided in advance, including details of the set, costumes and props. There is also a free Touch Tour of the set and a live audio introduction before the start of the performance. You can book tickets via venue box offices. Discounts available. Touch Tours start 75 minutes before the show.
If a full-length opera doesn’t feel like the right fit, our afternoon Access performances give the flexibility and freedom to relax, move about as required and enjoy everything opera has to offer! With Dementia Friendly values at their core, these shorter performances are open to all, whether you are living with Dementia, are recovering from an operation, have a young baby, have breathing difficulties – or even have a very loud laugh! They are designed to make opera going as easy and stress-free as possible. Groups welcome. Tickets from £10. Free carers.
