Guidelines may change in accordance with public health recommendations, so please check back here and pre-performance reminders for updates. Proof of vaccination is currently not required for audience members, Please note that all staff and artists are fully vaccinated.

Distancing

The 100% audience vaccination requirement allows the ESO to operate at full audience capacity at both the ETHS Auditorium and at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall. As such, there will not be physical distancing between parties in either venue.
