In addition, please note exceptions to the regular advance booking deadlines.

The order form asks for your contact and payment details as well as the desired price category. We will inform you in good time, before online sales begin, whether your ticket request was successful. If demand exceeds our supply of tickets, a draw will decide who will receive the tickets. 

The processing of written orders begins two months before the performance date.
