Special seasons

In recent years the Workmen’s Hall has been excited and proud to bring a variety of cultural experiences to Blaenavon and to our supporters across South Wales and from further afield. These have been hugely successful – often attracting bigger audiences than some of the major Hollywood movies with our loyal audience returning and again and again for opera and ballets from Covent Garden.

These performances are simultaneous transmissions direct and live from Covent Garden and are shown in our cinema with its new (in 2018) plush high–comfort seating equipped with shelves should you wish to have a glass of wine with you during the performance See the Royal Opera House website for current and forthcoming live opera and ballet listings.

It is advisable to book tickets the more popular ballets and operas well in advance and certainly we recommend that you enquire about availability before travelling a distance. The audience is committed and often expresses its enthusiuasm with applause at the end of each performance.
