Tips & Advice
- Book soon for Friday, December 11, because only remaining tickets are left for that night, while December 15 is still on general sale.
- Use your concert ticket as a free VRR travel pass and take the U-Bahn to Heinrich-Heine-Allee instead of looking for parking in the Altstadt.
- Preorder your drinks or snacks from D'Orphée on site or online, so they're ready before the show or at the interval with no waiting.
- Allow extra time if you need the lift, because the opera house has just one lift serving every floor.
- If you park in the K20 garage at Grabbeplatz 5, pay the opera rate at the machine in the cloakroom foyer before you drive out.

There are two wheelchair spaces on each side of the stalls in row 14. To keep them for wheelchair users, they can't be booked online, only by phone or at the Opernshop.
