REQUEST ACCOMMODATIONS
When requested in advance North Carolina Opera can schedule American Sign Language interpreters, audio description services, sighted guides, and other accessibility services. We can also make available large-print or braille program notes, as well as pre-visit guides and social narratives. The earlier you can alert us to your needs, the easier it will be to facilitate. Please make any specific accessibility requests at least two weeks prior to your event so we can provide the best service.
