Blind and Partially-Sighted

Audio-described performances offer a live commentary via a discreet headset.
 

Touch Tours on stage

Most audio-described performances are complemented by a Touch Tour. These offer blind and partially-sighted audiences the opportunity to gain an impression of the stage setting, costumes and props by walking around the stage and meeting cast members prior to a performance. For further details, contact the Box Office.

Touch Tours happen an hour before the show starts.
