Insider tips

Check the official website's 'Season Program' calendar before visiting, as performance availability varies significantly throughout the year.

Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the indoor auditorium climate control is kept at a constant low temperature.

Use the onsite visitor information desk to identify which of the four theaters is hosting your specific event, as entrances are located at different sides of the building.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to walk between the various theater entrances without checking the map, as the facility footprint is larger than it appears from the main entrance.
