Safety measures may change before you visit
Please be aware that when you come to the show, you will be seated according to the NSW Public Health orders prevailing at the date of the performance, not at the time of buying your ticket.
At times, due to STC’s enhanced COVID safety plans, the NSW Government may grant a special exemption allowing the company to perform to larger capacities than current Health Orders.
STC will continue to act in strict compliance with directions from NSW Health.
Consider how comfortable you will be should you arrive at the theatre to a full house, and be seated alongside people outside your immediate group. By the time of your performance, this may once again be a safe way to gather.
100% audience capacity
NSW Health has granted Sydney Theatre Company an exemption to the current Public Health Order, allowing us to increase audience capacity to 100% at Roslyn Packer Theatre for STC shows. We encourage you to consider your comfort levels before attending. We will continue to offer refunds up to the date of performance to ticket holders who have concerns with returning to a busy theatre.
