Frequently Asked Questions

What are your safety protocols?

Patrons attending performances are required to abide by the safety protocols of the venue. Please visit the venue's website prior to attending your performance for the latest safety protocol information.

What if I’m unable or uncomfortable attending a performance?

Patron Services is ready to work with you to find an appropriate solution to manage your tickets. Please call 1.800.ALLEGRO (255.3476). We will be very flexible in your ticket options and encourage you to let us know as soon as you can if you plan to not attend a performance. Your ticket purchase is safe with us.

Can I bring the kids?

You know your children best, and you know how long they can usually sit and enjoy the music without being too squirmy. As a general guideline, though, we recommend that you don’t bring children younger than 10 years old to our regular subscription concerts, simply because they often find the concerts are too long. Younger kids will enjoy our Family Series concerts, which are shorter and have a more relaxed atmosphere and more to look at on the stage.

Can I take pictures/sound recordings/videotape?

No. Photography, sound recording and videotaping are not permitted at any of our venues or concerts.

How many seats are in each venue?

Princeton: Richardson Auditorium (838 seats), Morristown: Mayo Performing Arts Center (1214 seats), Red Bank: Count Basie Center for the Arts (1543 seats), New Brunswick: State Theatre New Jersey (1877 seats), Newark: NJPAC: Prudential Hall (2777 seats), Newark: NJPAC: Victoria Theater (511 seats).
