BOOKS
We bring together our guided narration combined with a live performance audio from the Opera Holland Park to create a rich, fun and immersive reading experience that supports read-along learning - while introducing children to the wonderful world of opera.
Each book includes a QR code that, when scanned, unlocks an exclusive audio of a live performance of the opera and its story narrated in English.
Tailor-made for children aged 4 and up, each experience brings the story to life with illustrations, engaging insights into the characters, operatic voices and composer, and a gentle focus on calm, independent learning.

OUR STORY
Claire Bretaudeau
General Director
Alexander Jeffries
Marketing Director
Sonia Ben-Santamaria
Artistic Director
" Petite Opera House is family! "
The three directors are first of all, great friends.
Sonia - pianist and Opera conductor - met Claire when she first arrived in London and wanted to pick up piano again. Claire had originally studied cello and piano as a little girl. A few years later, Sonia conducted Alex - opera singer - on Strauss' Die Fledermaus. Claire came to the show and the three of them have been besties since.
" When we became parents we naturally wanted to share our passion for the art form with our Kids but couldn't find a fun, accessible and interactive platform for it! "
Petite Opera House is born from Sonia, Claire and Alex's will to share their love for Opera with their Kids! "
Petite Opera House immerses your children
in the magical world of Classical Music!
