Can anyone attend a performance with an access provision?

Yes. The access provisions on certain show dates are extras to make our run of The Sound of Music as inclusive as possible. The show you see on that day is the same full musical production as any other day, and open to any audience member.

At the signed performances, you can expect to see BSL interpreter on the side of the stage, signing the script and songs. At audio-described performances, there will be a live description of the visual elements of the production delivered through a headset. At captioned performances, all the dialogue, including sound effects, and the name of who is singing or speaking, is displayed on two screens either side of the stage. You can find out more about access at Opera North here.

Is it suitable for children?

Yes! We recommend the show is suitable for ages 8+, and child tickets are £10 off in any price band across the theatre. The total show time is just 2 hours 30 minutes (shorter than the film) including a 20-minute interval to grab an ice cream. There are matinee options and shows at the weekends and during summer holidays if you’re still worried about staying up late on a school night.

How do I get to Leeds Grand Theatre?

Whether you’re getting here by car or public transport, Leeds Grand Theatre is easy to reach. There are a range of nearby car parks, and we are within walking distance of Leeds Train Station and Leeds Bus Station. You can find detailed information here.

Is this an opera version of The Sound of Music?

To get straight to the point, no. This is The Sound of Music, the musical, featuring our wonderful live Orchestra of 40 musicians and the Chorus of Opera North, with many of our Chorus members taking named roles.

Do I need to have seen the film?

No. Whether you’ve seen the film or not, you’ll still be able to follow the storyline (and probably recognise a few tunes!)

What should I wear?

Leeds Grand Theatre is an old theatre and does get hot. Please dress appropriately and keep hydrated. Free drinking water is made available around the theatre. Otherwise there’s no dress code!
