Dress Rehearsals
We are delighted to offer residents of Ibstone, Northend, Stokenchurch & Turville (and other villages within a 5km radius of our opera house at HP14 3YE) the opportunity to apply for 2 complimentary tickets to a Dress Rehearsal in our 2026 Season.
The dress code is informal, and the opera site (Wormsley Estate) opens at 3.30pm. There is a long dining interval for picnics after the first act, and the rehearsals end around 10pm. Free parking is available on site.
Availability is very limited, but we will fit as many people in as we can and you may apply to multiple rehearsals. Please note that multiple applications from the same person or household will not be considered.
Production details for all the operas can be viewed on our What’s On page.
