• Early is always best! You’re here for a good time, so be kind to yourself and allow plenty of time for parking, grabbing your tickets at the box office, and getting settled in your seat. We recommend at least half an hour.
• Free pre-show talks are a great way to learn some fun facts about the piece you’re about to see and hear! They begin one hour before curtain.
• Each production features special activities, displays, and photo opportunities in the lobby, so there’s plenty to do while you wait for the show to start!
• Theater lobbies open an hour prior to the performance time.
• The house (aka the theater itself) opens 30 minutes before performance time.
• Late seating is at the discretion of the ushers. If you arrive after the performance begins, you may be asked to wait to enter until an appropriate moment to minimize disruption to your fellow patrons and the artists on stage.

You don’t need to speak a foreign language to enjoy the opera! Each performance is presented with supertitles — English translations projected above the stage. And some shows, like The Hobbit, are sung in English.
