- Admission
- Self-guided daytime visits are ticketed and sold online only — no tickets for visits are sold on site, so arriving without one is a wasted trip. Last entry is an hour before closing. Check the calendar before you buy: rehearsals close the auditorium to visitors often and unpredictably, no ticket guarantees you get into it, and on matinée days the visit runs a shorter window at both ends.
