Do I need to understand a foreign language?

NO! While all of our operas are performed in their original languages, you can still follow along and not miss a thing, because we use OPERATITLES or English translations projected above the stage. Some of our productions are in English as well.

Where do I park and what do I wear?

Parking:

Tri-Cities Opera Center 

Parking is readily available in the opera center parking lot and the back lot of the Dollar General adjacent to the Tri-Cities Opera Center.

The Forum Theatre

What Do I Wear?

Regarding your attire, it’s your choice: tails, a dress, jeans and your “Tri-Cities Opera” t-shirt or anything in between! Don’t have a t-shirt yet? Look for them in the lobby at the performance location.

How can I get tickets?
