Important information to keep our audiences, artists, and staff safe at live performances.

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. The following guidelines will be in effect beginning October 10, 2022 and are subject to change:

Masks EncouragedMasks are no longer required while indoors at LA Opera performances, but are encouraged. If you would prefer to wear a mask during the performance, they will be available at the door.

Safety icons sick100If you or someone in your group doesn’t feel well, has exhibited symptoms of COVID-19 in the previous 14 days, or has been in contact with someone with COVID-19 in the previous 14 days, you should not attend the performance. 

If you are unable to attend a live, in-person performance at this time, you may:

  • Exchange into another opera of your choice later in the season 
  • Receive a credit to apply to another purchase
  • Donate the value of your tickets to support LA Opera
