ETO delivers industry-leading Learning and Participation projects which allow people of diverse ages, needs and backgrounds to experience, create and participate in opera.

Alongside the five mainstage shows, every year the company tours two specially commissioned operas for children and young people with special educational needs, a series of creative workshops for older people with dementia, and more than 70 workshops for people of all abilities and ages. Altogether, ETO’s work reaches over 50,000 people every year.
