WHAT TIME ARE PERFORMANCES?
Evening performances are at 8 PM and
the matinees begin at 2 PM
HOW EARLY SHOULD I ARRIVE?
Allow plenty of time to arrive and park
with about 20 to 30 minutes to get into the theater, find your seat and
look at the program book. Please take time to turn off your cell phone
and pagers prior to the performance.
WHAT IF I ARRIVE LATE?
Late comers will not be admitted to their seats until the first
pause or intermission so as to not disturb ballet patrons already in their
seats.
HOW DO I LEARN ABOUT
THE BALLET I'LL BE SEEING?
This season NFB will offer a Discourse on the Dance 30 minutes
prior to the curtain in the Exhibit Hall Foyer in the Lower Level Lobby.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO
THE BALLET?
You are in Reno! Anything from jeans to jewels! NFB recommends
business casual to semi-formal, whichever makes you comfortable for an
evening out!
HOW DO I LEARN MORE ABOUT
NFB?
Festival Friends, the Guild of NFB will be at all performances
to answer your questions. Also please take the time to read our program
book, which contains numerous articles on NFB plus a synopsis of the story
ballets; photos of the dancers and brief biographies. We would welcome
you as a member of NFB and as a member of Festival Friends!
DO I BRING CHILDREN?
Of Course! Children are always welcome, but they must each have
a ticket and a seat. You should base your decision on the maturity of the
child and the ballet being performed. Ballets such as The Nutcracker and
Cinderella (about 2 hours and an intermission) are perfect for children
of all ages, although we do not recommend bringing children under 4 years
of age. A Tale of Frankenstein and Lily Cai Chinese Dance Company are perfect
for older children. No infants or babies in arms, please.
