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 2026 is $175.
• There is a dedicated 30 Years and Under ticket price on all performances of $30.
• Season 2026 subscriptions offer a discount on all performances. Buy two or more shows in a season and save 20%.

• Other Discount prices available: Senior card holders, 30yrs & Under, Arts Access Victorian and Child (14yrs & Under).

We occasionally offer special discounts, but this never guaranteed. If you want your choice of performance dates and seats, it is best to buy early to avoid disappointment.
