We are very pleased with the mixture of popular and operatic selections chosen for your enjoyment and hope you will make plans to attend some of our performances in the near future.
RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Although we are happy to accept walk-ins for performances that haven’t sold out, there is a chance that you will be turned away at the door if you arrive for a performance that is sold out or canceled. So please be sure to reserve your seats before you arrive at the box office.
THERE IS NO CHARGE TO PLACE YOUR RESERVATION. Once your seats have been reserved over the phone or via email, you may pay at the box office on your showdate (cash, checks, and credit card payments are accepted at the box office). Patrons who wish to pay for their tickets in advance may do so over the phone by calling our Box Office line.
Reservations can be made by calling our 24/7 Reservation and Info Line:
773-809-3153
In addition to reserving seats for Opera in Focus performances, you may address any inquiries you have about the Puppet Opera to that line and send text message requests.
Reservations can also be made via email (PuppetOpera@gmail.com) or via the CONTACT page on this website. Please be sure to include your name, telephone number, the date you’d like to attend, the number of seats you’d like to reserve, and the type of seats you’d like to reserve (Adult/Senior/Child) with your reservation request.
Reservations may also be made by calling the Park Central Box office line during normal business hours at: 847-818-3220

If you arrive after the start of the first act, you are asked to wait in the lobby until the first intermission to enter the theater. During the performance the theater is very dark. Your safety is our concern.
Doors open approximately 30 minutes before each performance and seating is always on a “first-come first-served” basis. Special seating accommodations may be made in advance up to 24 hours before any given showdate.
Groups of 20 or more may arrange for a special performance on any day and at any time of their choosing (morning, afternoon, or evening). Naturally, smaller groups may attend any of our regularly scheduled Wednesday or Saturday performances. Interested groups may also inquire about arranging a catered luncheon or dinner in Park Central’s lovely on-site banquet hall along with the performance—a wonderful way to get together and enjoy good food and great music. There are also many great restaurants nearby that can accommodate larger sized groups that we are happy to recommend.
