Complimentary printed programs will be distributed at the theatre with information about the performance.

What to wear 

It's not necessary to get dressed up to come to QPAC. Although if you are coming to a gala event, it is likely that guests will be dressed to attend a special occasion. Usually smart casual dress is perfect. Because all of our theatres are air conditioned, you may want to bring a light wrap or jacket, especially if you are dressed for Brisbane summer weather.

During the Performance 

Please relax and enjoy the performance! Our dancers love to hear you respond and applaud as it lets them know you appreciate their artistry and are enjoying the production. 

Please remember to turn off all mobile phones and electronic devices before the performance begins. Please note photography and filming is not permitted during the performance. 

Masks are not mandatory at QPAC however, we strongly recommend you bring a mask with you to the theatre for use where physical distancing is not possible

Face masks can be a useful measure to help control sustained community transmission of COVID-19. Monitor Queensland Health's directions about face masks, as this will continue to change in response to community transmission in localised areas. The best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 is to stay home if you are sick, and thoroughly wash your hands often. When wearing a face mask, it is recommended you avoid touching it with your hands.

Please remain seated after the performance and show your appreciation to the performers non-verbally i.e. by applause or stamping your feet.

Observe physical distancing and follow signage and staff directions regarding entry and exit procedures.
