Lost tickets can be reprinted and held at the box office.

Virginia Opera reserves to right to deny admission to children under the age of five. Patrons of any age must have a ticket to enter the theater.

Your Tax Deductible Ticket Donation

Like all performing arts organizations, we depend on the financial support contributed by our friends for much of our income. Should you be unable to attend a performance for which you are holding tickets, we recommend returning them for a receipt acknowledging your donation of their paid value. Doing this as soon as possible will increase our chances of reselling them. Please mail or deliver unused tickets to our office. If this is not possible, please notify us by phone of your intention to donate the tickets at least 24 hours before the performance. A donation receipt will be mailed to you.  Unfortunately, ticket donations cannot be accepted after the performance has begun.

Please mail your donated tickets to:

Virginia Opera
P.O. Box 2580
Norfolk, VA 23501

A tax receipt for your donation will be mailed accordingly.

Gift certificates can be purchased in any amount on our website or by phone at 866.673.7282. Please note that gift certificates purchase through the Virginia Opera are only valid for opera performances in Norfolk and Richmond.

Demand-Based Pricing

Prices for all performances are subject to change (increase and decrease) based on sales. The prices on the website are adjusted in real time and reflect the most current price for each performance.
