Frequently Asked Questions

Nope! We encourage people to attend the opera in whatever attire they are comfortable in. Be it a ball gown or blue jeans, we are happy to have you joining us!

Pro tip: consider dressing in layers, as the weather in North Carolina can be unpredictable, and temperatures inside a large venue can take time to adjust.

Subscribers can access and manage their tickets through NC Opera Account Manager. 

• Use your mobile phone to log in to your NC Opera Account Manager.
• Click on ‘My Events’ and select your event.
• You will see your digital tickets in your account.
• Before you head out to the performance, download your tickets to your phone by tapping ‘Add to Wallet’ (iPhone) or ‘Save to Phone’ (Android) for each ticket.

NOTE: Some web browser security settings may block this download. We see this most often with Chrome, so we recommend using the Safari browser to download your tickets.
