Intermissions are generally 20 minutes in length. The flashing of the lobby lights is your signal to return to your seat for the start of the performance. Latecomers will be seated at proper intervals.

Concert Conclusion

Members of the audience who wish to leave before the conclusion of the performance are asked to do so only between selections so as not to disturb others.
