Moonlight Dream in the National Opera House

Step into a world of wonder with Moonlight Dream, a gentle dance and live music experience for families with children under 6, created by choreographer Georgia Tegou with original music by composer Ursula Burns.

Inspired by the soothing rituals of bedtime – cosy stories, soft lullabies and quiet moments – this enchanting show welcomes little ones and their grown-ups on a magical, sensory-rich adventure to the moon.

Follow a curious child, a caring bear and a mischievous fox as they explore the night sky and discover the limitless possibilities of the dream world. With live music, flowing movement, and glowing lightscapes, you are transported to a peaceful, ethereal space where imagination takes flight.

This relaxed dance performance is designed to be inclusive, calming and full of wonder for the whole family – perfect as a first theatre experience and a joyful way to bond, unwind and ignite curiosity.

Come snuggle up and dream with us!

Show One: 11AM -11:35AM followed by a Stay and Play.
Show Two: 1PM – 1:35PM followed by a Stay and Play.

The Stay and Play session is for 10 minutes. Adults and children are invited to take off their outdoor shoes to come on to the dance floor. We will use stepping stones to the moon and the audience are encouraged to take turns to reach, balance, twirl, hop on their very own journey and reach towards the moon.
