There is no dress code for the opera! Some patrons choose to dress for a special occasion and others prefer to keep it casual.

Parking is available at the Columbus Commons Parking Garage located off of Rich or Main Street.

Plan on arriving about 30-40 minutes early. This gives you plenty of time to park, get your tickets from will call if you need to and find your seats without feeling rushed. Latecomers are seated (or stand) in the rear of the theatre until ushers take them to their seats at an appropriate point in the production.

We adhere to state and federal COVID-19 safety recommendations. Beginning in October 2021, attendees of all Opera Columbus events are required to be fully masked regardless of vaccination status. Additionally, attendees of all Opera Columbus events are required to present a valid ID and proof of COVID-19 vaccination (in the form of an immunization card or photo proof of one) or negative PCR test results obtained no more than 72 hours before the event.

In order to streamline entry, CAPA encourages you to use the Bindle App, a free, secure, easy to use digital pass for entrance to their venues. Click here to learn how to set up Bindle, which securely stores your negative test status or vaccination record and allows more efficient entry into the venues.

Use of this app will speed the health screening process at venue entrances, allowing you to reach your seats faster! We are doing all we can to efficiently provide a safe environment in which to enjoy the performing arts.

Use of Bindle is NOT REQUIRED, and no health information is shared with Bindle or CAPA. You can safely store your COVID-19 test results and vaccine records using Bindle’s military-grade encryption, keeping personal identity and health information strictly private.
