What about cell phones?

Please be sure to turn off your cell phones and audible electronic devices (including watch alarms) prior to the start of the concert.

When do I applaud?

Most artists appreciate applause at any time during a performance. Until the late nineteenth century and even into the twentieth-century, it was customary for audiences to applaud at the end of ever section of a given piece, and some movements were even given an immediate encore if the applause was great enough. Modern audiences, however, tend to wait until the end of the entire piece to clap. Why? Holding applause between movements is considered to be respectful to the performers’ concentration and mindful of musical continuity.

The conductor will signal when a piece is over by putting his or her arms down and turning to the audience.

How long is a VS performance?

Performance length varies, but a typical VS performance runs approximately two hours with one intermission. Our Concerts for Kids are approximately 60 minutes with no intermission.

Beverages and light snacks are available for purchase before the show and during the intermission, from the bar and/or concession areas. Food is not permitted in either auditorium. For the Royal Theatre, beverages can be taken in with pre-approved plastic cups provided by theatre staff. At the Royal Theatre, you can even pre-order your refreshments before the show starts so they are ready and waiting for you at the intermission.
