Winter evenings
The church is cold in the wintertime. Wear a warm layer you can keep on for 75 minutes, and a coat you can fold under your seat.
Summer evenings
The church gets hot in summer because there is no air conditioning. Light, breathable clothes are the sensible choice.
Bags
Luggage and large bags are not allowed. Leave them at your hotel and bring only what fits in a small bag or pocket.
Food, drink and pets
Food and drinks, pets and smoking are not allowed inside, so eat before you arrive.
Photos
Take your pictures before the concert begins or once it has finished. Taking them during the performance is not allowed.
