Tips & Advice

  • Buy tickets through MCPA.org or the MCPA Ticket Office, because tickets bought on resale sites may not be valid.
  • Choose the afternoon or evening performance to fit your family's day, since the ballet is staged twice on the same Saturday.
  • Look at the seating chart before you buy, because seats in the Donnell Theater are sold at several price levels.
  • Doors open an hour before each performance, so come early if you want to settle into your seats before the curtain.
