Plan Your Visit:
For the best experience, we recommend arriving at least 15–30 minutes before the performance starts. This gives you time to settle in or enjoy a drink at one of the theatre’s licensed bars. Please be aware that some events have a lock-out policy, so latecomers may need to wait for a suitable break in the performance.

Make it a Festive Night Out:
Combine your visit to the ballet with a pre-show dinner at one of the wonderful nearby restaurants in Haymarket or Chinatown. Our reception team is always happy to offer personalised dining recommendations. After the show, the Capitol Theatre is just a short, pleasant stroll back to your room at Ibis Styles Sydney Central.
