Your health and safety is of the utmost importance to us. Read more about our COVID-19 protocols and the latest updates from Vancouver Civic Theatres here.

Yes! We hold Pre-show Chats in the Queen Elizabeth Theatre mezzanine seats at 7pm prior to each Ballet BC performance. These informal chats feature guest moderators in conversation with dancers, choreographers, composers or conductors. More information about the Pre-show Chat on the night of your attendance will be emailed to you in advance.

In the interest of all patrons and performers, latecomers will not be seated once the performance begins and must wait until a suitable break, which will likely be during the next pause or intermission. Monitors are provided in the lobby. Patrons who leave during a performance will not be allowed to re-enter the theatre until a suitable break.

Parking is available at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre parkade, beneath the theatre. Enter off Cambie Street between West Georgia and Dunsmuir streets. Parking is limited, so arrive early!

Patrons with valid Disabled decals may reserve parking, as available, by calling 604.665.2193 weekdays at least 24 hours in advance of the performance. Please have your decal number and ticket information ready. An elevator operates from both floors of the parkade to the Plaza Level on Hamilton Street.

There is wheelchair seating on both the Orchestra and Mezzanine levels with special ‘Equal Access’ seating which provides wheelchair spaces adjacent to regular theatre seats. For those who would rather not use the stairs, an elevator next to the main entrance operates between the Main Lobby, the Mezzanine Level and the Upper Balcony.

There is an accessible driveway for taxis and for pick up and drop offs on Hamilton Street between West Georgia and Dunsmuir Streets.

Wheelchair accessible washrooms are on the orchestra and mezzanine levels.

Hearing-assist units and binoculars are available at the main lobby coat check.

Everyone must have a valid ticket, including attendants/companions of persons with disabilities. There are no discounts available for attendants.

For the safety of the dancers, photography, video, and audio recording is strictly prohibited during the performance.

We do encourage you to connect with us on social as we love to hear about your experience! Find us @balletbc and the hashtag #balletbc.

We recommend taking the following precautions to ensure you are safe from fraud:

• Buy your tickets from official sources only: directly through balletbc.com.

• Some brokers create websites to look exactly like the box office. The best practice is to manually type the address of the site you wish to purchase from (e.g. www.balletbc.com)

• Do not post pictures of your ticket on social media.

For all Ballet BC performances including Nutcracker, all audience members including children must have a valid ticket.
