The not-so-fine print (your benefits explained). There are lots of these, so better go refresh that coffee first. We'll wait.

FREE TALKS & RECEPTIONS
Join fellow Newcomers (who also want to learn what a sitzprobe is) at an informative yet fun pre-performance chat AND an exclusive intermission reception with complimentary wine.

EASY PAYMENT PLANS
We get it - opera can be expensive especially when buying multiple tickets in a subscription.  That's where we can help!  You can spread your payments out over a couple months. To set up a payment plan, please order your subscription by phone by calling the Box Office at 213.972.8001 Tuesday through Saturday, from 10:00am - 6:00pm (PST).

REFUND AND EXCHANGES
Should anything change and you don’t feel comfortable joining us, we’ll be happy to exchange or refund your tickets free of charge.

TICKET DONATION
If you can’t make a performance of that opera, don't fret,  you may donate your ticket back to LA Opera (FYI: we are a non-profit organization) for a tax-deductible donation (now it's your accountant's problem).**

**Ticket donations may be made up until two hours prior to curtain time of that performance; exceptions may be made for sold-out performances.
