It looks like Mother Nature is going to cooperate for tonight’s Triumphant Sound concert. We can’t wait to see everyone at the 6pm performance!

A few reminders:
- A few seats have opened up on the main floor. Visit our website to select and purchase seats.

- If you have tickets that you can’t use because of the reschedule, please let us know ASAP so those seats can be made available to others. We can refund your ticket price, or it can be a donation to the opera house.

- Online ticketing will close at 3:00 p.m. After that, tickets for that performance will only be available at the box office.

- The box office will open at 5:15 p.m. and doors will open for seating at 5:30 p.m.

PLEASE NOTE - The chairlift for the long staircase at the building entry has been replaced and is working. The chairlift for the shorter run of stairs to the theatre hallway is not operational – all guests will need to walk up 6 stairs. We apologize for the inconvenience, but look forward to the building renovation which will include an elevator to make the theater level fully accessible to all guests
Thanks for supporting Akron Opera House and performing arts in our community!
