In the interest of all patrons and performers, and to minimize distractions, latecomers will be admitted at “late call” a break in the concert determined by the conductor and venue staff. If you leave the auditorium during a performance, you will be re-admitted only at a suitable break in the performance.

Cameras and other recording devices are not permitted in the auditorium.

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

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.

Everyone gets the urge to cough now and then. The less worried you are about coughing, the less likely you are to feel the urge! So chances are you’ll feel less need to cough if you come prepared. If you have a cold, then take some cough medicine in advance and bring unwrapped lozenges with you. Have a few handy when the music begins. Try to ‘bury’ your cough in a loud passage of music. If this is impossible and you begin to cough a lot, then it’s perfectly acceptable and appropriate to quietly exit the concert hall. The ushers will tell you when you are able to re-enter the concert.

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.

Special arrangements can be made for the blind and visually impaired for most performances.  Accessible seating is also available in certain areas of the venues. Please call 250.385.6515 for more information.

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.

Please be considerate of those in the audience who may have allergies and/or sensitivities and refrain from wearing perfume and cologne or other scented products.
