For the wellbeing of our youngest guests, children under 4 are not permitted at evening performances. The concert includes loud soundscapes, dark environments, and long seated periods, which can be overwhelming and unsafe for toddlers. As such, the show is accessible for ages 4+. Please note the nature of the show is classical and takes place in the evening, so young children may not be engaged for the full show. Parental discretion is advised when deciding if the show will be suitable for young children. Children aged 4-14 must be accompanied by an adult over 18. A max of 8 tickets per person and per household applies. Tickets in excess of 8 will be cancelled.
