Children are welcome for Opera and Dance. However, all guests are required to hold a ticket, regardless of age. Babies in arms are not permitted. And, while we do not enforce a universal age limit for performances, we do ask parents to use their best judgement regarding the appropriateness of individual performances for their own children. We ask all of our guests to be considerate of their fellow patrons so everyone is able to enjoy the performance without unnecessary distraction.

Events such as Broadway musicals may establish their own age restrictions. Please refer to their websites for complete details.

Strollers should be left in your vehicle for all performances. During private events like graduations or weddings, strollers may be brought in the building and then stored in a special area with other mobility devices. They are not permitted in the theater unless it is for medical reasons.
