Did you know that…

  • Tickets to our performances are half price if you are under the age of 26!

  • A 15-minute introduction of the work you are about to see is scheduled 45 minutes before most opera and ballet performances.
  • We recommend visitors to arrive at least 20 minutes before the performance begins. It will give you time to hand in your coat and find your seat before the curtain goes up.
