Opera picnics and drinks (NOT TICKETS)

Have you bought your opera tickets and now want to add picnics and wines to top off your evening?  You are in the right place.

If you haven't bought your opera tickets yet, please do this first as tickets are selling fast.  Go to the 'Opera - La Bohème' event page.  Here you can buy picnics and wine at the same time as your entrance tickets so you won't need to come back to this page.

Scroll down for the full picnic menus including vegetarian and vegan options.

You can order a bottle (or two) of wine or fizz with your picnics, chilled as appropriate and including glasses.   See below for details of our curated selection and order in advance for a discount over prices available on the night. 

When you are ready and you click through to make your purchases, you need to 'purchase' a Dummy Ticket with your order.  You only need one Dummy Ticket regardless of how many picnics and wines you order and of course it doesn't cost anything.  Just to be crystal clear, this ticket does NOT give you entrance to the opera, it is only to make it possible to buy picnics at a different time to entrance tickets.
