Grand Opera House York
The Relaxed Performance, which takes place on Friday 2nd January, has elements of the pantomime adapted to reduce anxiety or stress. It’s especially popular with audience members who prefer a less formal atmosphere, such as those on the autism spectrum, those with a learning disability, and very young children who have never visited a theatre. Tickets are available to book for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere!
During this performance, adjustments will be made including a cast introduction, lighting remaining at a low level in the auditorium, flashing and strobe lighting removed, sound levels lowered, and loud bangs removed. The atmosphere in the auditorium will be relaxed and audience members can feel free to move around and make noise. There will also be a chill-out room available, if anyone needs to leave the auditorium at any time.
York’s most magical festive tradition is back - and it’s bigger, bolder and more star-studded than ever. Cinderella at the Grand Opera House York is set to be the city’s biggest Christmas show, boasting dazzling casting, glittering production values and a laugh-a-minute script.

Grand Opera House York
Not originally intended to be a theatre, the buildings that comprise the Grand Opera House York officially opened in 1902 with Little Red Riding Hood starring Florrie Ford. Since then it has been owned by FJ Butterworth, the Shepherd of Shambles and the India Pru Co. Ltd who spent £4,000,000 restoring the theatre to its former glory in 1987.
