We want our patrons to have the most enjoyable experience at the opera. To minimize interruptions for our patrons and artists, Opera Grand Rapids follows a strict late seating policy.
Late-comers will be seated at the earliest break in the performance or at intermission. Opera Grand Rapids reserves seating at DeVos Performance Hall where late-comers can enjoy the performance until be they are able to take their assigned seats. Please note that if you leave your seat during the performance, upon your return to the hall you will be ushered to the late seating area.
