The Tri-Cities Opera is inviting the next generation of opera lovers with its exciting Youth Ticket Initiative! This program aims to make opera more accessible and affordable for children and young people.

Free Youth Tickets

Children and youth under 18 can attend the opera for FREE when accompanied by a ticket-holding adult. Each adult can reserve up to four youth tickets, so bring your family and friends! Free youth tickets are only available by phone. Call the Tri-Cities Opera Box Office at (607) 772-0400 to reserve your tickets. These cannot be purchased online.

Educators Take Note!

The Tri-Cities Opera offers special opportunities for educators as well. K-12 teachers can bring their entire class to the opera, enjoying the production at a Student Preview or a General Public performance (subject to availability).

  • Reserve Your Seats: Teachers can secure reserved spots for their students by contacting ogr@tricitiesopera.org.

Discounted Tickets for College Students

The Tri-Cities Opera doesn't forget about post-secondary students! College, university, and trade school students with a valid ID can purchase discounted tickets online.

  • Limited $10 Rush Tickets: A limited number of $10 rush tickets are available for students on a first-come, first-served basis. You can sign up online for Rush Tickets. Tickets can only be purchased in person at the performance venue Box Office 30 minutes before curtain time.
