How can I get cheaper tickets?

At Victorian Opera, we put great emphasis on making our tickets affordable to as much of our community as possible. This means we start with an affordable full-price ticket and work from there to make sure there is a wide range of prices to suit every budget.

  • Tickets for all performances start at $39 and the most expensive ticket in Season 2027 is $180.
  • There is a dedicated 30 Years & Under ticket price on all performances of $30 that applies in B-reserve, C-reserve, and D-reserve.
  • Season 2027 Subscriptions offer a discount on all performances. Buy two or more shows in a season and save up to 20%.
  • With a 30 Years & Under Membership you can experience the magic of opera and music theatre for just $30 per performance and enjoy access to a series of members-only events with likeminded arts lovers.
  • Concession prices include Pension and Health Care Card holders, Full-time Students, and MEAA Members.
  • Other Discount prices available: Senior card holders, 30yrs & Under, Arts Access Victorian and Child (14yrs & Under).
