What audience safety protocols do I have to adhere to in order to attend a performance?

Our first priority is to ensure that every audience member has the best and safest experience possible and to protect the health of our performers and staff. Since we practice music, not medicine, our policies follow the mandates and guidance of the LA County Department of Health.

Currently, proof of vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 test is not required. Masks are no longer required inside during the performance, but encouraged. If you would prefer to wear a mask during the performance, they will be available at the door. For full guidelines please click here.

EXCHANGING YOUR TICKETS

Change of plans? Looks like rain? Surprise visit from the in-laws? No problem.

Subscribers can exchange their tickets to any of our mainstage shows and pay no fees, or they may donate the value of their ticket back to LA Opera as a tax-deductible donation. Currently any ticket holder can exchange your ticket free of charge in the 2021/22 Season.

You may exchange your tickets up to 48 hours in advance of a performance online, in person, by phone, fax or email. Emergency exchanges made between 2-48 prior to a curtain can only be completed in person, or by phone. Additional fees, rules and/or restrictions may apply. All exchanges may be subject to a seating price increase.

Ticket exchanges may be made by logging into to your account or by calling the Box Office at 213.972.8001 ext. 0.

DONATING TICKETS AS A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE GIFT

If you are unable to attend an opera, please consider donating your tickets to LA Opera for resale (We will miss you).

To donate your tickets call 213.972.8001. You will receive a receipt for this donation. You may also mail or fax your ticket donation. Tickets must arrive one hour before curtain time on the day of the performance to be considered a donation. The value of your tickets will be acknowledged as a charitable contribution after the performance. (This amount will not be applied toward donor benefits.)

Help us out: When you donate your tickets as soon as possible, this will increase our chances of reselling them.

Please consider donating the cost of your tickets to support The LA Opera Relief Fund, which will provide support for the hundreds of LA Opera artists, artisans and staff whose work and livelihood have been impacted as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak.

BRING THE KIDS. FOR HALF PRICE

OK, so Get Out with live orchestra might be a bit intense for little Sofia, we get it, but we love having kids at the opera. We welcome children 9-17 years of age as we know they will love the music and spectacle of live opera. We want them to come so much that we offer half price tickets for this age group. We also have many other programs for families.

Since many operas contain adult subject matter, we suggest that parents check the webpage of the opera they are considering attending for any parental advisories as well as the opera synopsis. to make sure it is suitable for their child. (Still have questions? You can always call the box office at 213.972.8001)

Our mainstage operas are not suitable for children under 9 and you will not be allowed into the theater with a very young child. Although you can watch from the lobby, you will likely enjoy the performance better if you leave the little ones at home. We have many, many other ways for you to enjoy opera with your very young child. Click here to learn how.

THE FINE PRINT

We traditionally offer refunds for tickets in the event a performance is canceled. If you have tickets to a performance that was cancelled due to the statewide effort to curb spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) please see above.  You also you may exchange or donate your tickets if you cannot attend a performance (see details above).

Artists, prices, schedule and programs are subject to change. (Life happens!)
