Can I get any rush tickets?
Rush tickets go on sale on the day of a performance, an hour before curtain up, subject to availability of seats in the auditorium.
When should I arrive?
We recommend that you arrive at least 60 minutes before the performance starts. You will have time to leave your coat at the cloakroom, drink a glass of wine or a cup of coffee in the buffet, and locate your seat. You will know when to proceed to your seat when you hear rings. If you are late for the curtain-up, you will have to wait until an intermission (if there is one) to get in the auditorium.
Please note: The main entrance to the opera house is opened an hour before performances shown at the Moniuszko Auditorium and half an hour before shows taking place in the Młynarski Hall and Redutowe Rooms.
Do I need to pay for the cloakroom?
No, using our cloakrooms is free.
