• Pomposo i... kids' shows, 55 minutes of music theater for ages 4 to 9 where the characters talk with the audience
• Opera na start for under-3s, 40-minute music-and-movement sessions in the big ballet studio, with a parent joining in
• SKM Gdańsk Politechnika is right behind the building and trams stop out front; visitor parking is along ul. Towarowa, not at the opera

One of Pomerania's largest cultural houses, staging opera and ballet from classics like Carmen and Coppelia to new Polish work. Every show runs with Polish surtitles above the stage, and there is no dress code.

The education program is where kids come in: Pomposo i..., an interactive music-theater series, family workshops, and Opera na start, music-and-movement sessions for babies and toddlers led by the company's singers, players and dancers.
