STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
As part of Sydney Opera House's commitment to improving disability access we are delighted that this year’s House:Ed program includes a number of inclusive performances for young people with disabilities.
We would like to ensure that young people who are deaf or hearing impaired, blind or vision impaired, as well as those with intellectual disabilities have an opportunity to experience the magic of live performance at Sydney Opera House.
This year our program includes AUSLAN interpreted and audio-described performances, pre-show sensory touch tours of the stage and autism-friendly performances.
As well as this, the addition of our digital education program, will allow students with disabilities exclusive access to Sydney Opera House to take part in an upclose, roaming tour of the building from the safety and security of their classroom.
Teachers are welcome to contact us to discuss an individual student’s access needs, strengths and interests, so we can plan a visit that facilitates his or her full participation in our House: Ed performances.
