I have the impression that "My First Time at the Opera" is a victim of its success and the first shows are sold out. Reservations seem to be open from 15 January 2020 for Play and La Bohème.

Hello, I am interested in the offer my first fouis at the opera but can not manage to access the registration form. Could you tell me please follow the procedure.

Hello ma'am, it seems that given the success of this operation, the shows are complete until December 2019.
