Tips & Advice
- Book soon for Friday, December 11, because only remaining tickets are left for that night, while December 15 is still on general sale.
- Use your concert ticket as a free VRR travel pass and take the U-Bahn to Heinrich-Heine-Allee instead of looking for parking in the Altstadt.
- Preorder your drinks or snacks from D'Orphée on site or online, so they're ready before the show or at the interval with no waiting.
- Allow extra time if you need the lift, because the opera house has just one lift serving every floor.
- If you park in the K20 garage at Grabbeplatz 5, pay the opera rate at the machine in the cloakroom foyer before you drive out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of music is it?
Jazzy arrangements of American Christmas classics, led and arranged by Jake Muffett. Ensemble members sing with a jazz band of piano, clarinet, saxophone, drums and double bass. The soloists are Laura Miah, Sarah Ferede, Sami Luttinen and Luke Stoker.
How long does the concert last?
About two and a quarter hours, with one interval.
Is public transport included with my ticket?
Yes. Your ticket covers second-class travel to and from the show anywhere in the VRR area on the day of the performance, and this applies to digital tickets too. The Heinrich-Heine-Allee U-Bahn stop is three stations from Düsseldorf Hauptbahnhof.
Can I eat or drink at the opera house?
D'Orphée Kulturgastronomie serves wines, snacks and small dishes before the show and at the interval. You can preorder on site or online. The catering counters are in the stalls and first-circle foyers, and on evenings the house opens early for ticket holders who want to eat first.
How do wheelchair users book seats?
There are two wheelchair spaces on each side of the stalls in row 14. To keep them for wheelchair users, they can't be booked online, only by phone or at the Opernshop.
