Performance Policies
We are pleased to welcome you to a BGMC performance!
Children
BGMC welcomes children and families to our performances. Everyone who enters the theater must have a ticket; lap sitting is not permitted. Many children can remain quiet, attentive, and seated for a performance, but you know your child best. No persons under three years of age are allowed in the performance hall.
COVID-19
BGMC is committed to providing a safe and healthy environment for our patrons, singers, staff and volunteers. BGMC follows the health policies of the venues we perform in, including Symphony Hall and Jordan Hall. The information at these links is regularly updated to keep in compliance with CDC recommendations.
Photography
Photography is not permitted during the performances as it is distracting to fellow audience members and performers.
Video/Audio Recording
Due to stringent copyright laws video and/or audio recording is not permitted. Many selections from BGMC performances are available on the BGMC YouTube channel where all licensing has been obtained.
Ticket Sales
All ticket sales are final.
Will Call
All tickets must be picked up within 30 minutes of the announced start time of the show.
Late Seating
Late seating is at the discretion of the house management.
Smoking
As of September 2017 New England Conservatory is a smoke-free campus. This policy applies to everyone on campus: students, staff, faculty, guests, and visitors. Use of any tobacco, marijuana, or nicotine products including electronic cigarettes or vape pens is prohibited in all buildings and outdoor areas controlled by NEC, including a fifty-foot perimeter around the streets and sidewalks abutting any NEC building.
Bag Check Policy
As of October 2022 New England Conservatory will begin audience bag checks. For everyone’s safety, at certain performances and events, bags and cases will be subject to inspection prior to admission to Jordan Hall. All guests are required to allow authorized security officers to check bags and instrument cases before entering a performance or event. NEC reserves the right to prohibit attendees from bringing into a performance or event at any time any items (including, without limitation, bags or cases or the items within bags and cases) deemed by authorized security officers or designated representatives or employees of NEC to be prohibited, unsafe, dangerous, illegal, or disruptive. NEC reserves the right to confiscate prohibited items and/or to deny entry or evict those who are in breach of NEC’s Bag Check policy, other relevant policies of NEC, and/or those who pose a danger or disruption to the performance or event or to other guests. Items that are confiscated may not be returned.
Refusal of a bag search will result in denial of entry to, or ejection from, the performance or event. This policy is subject to change without notice. Prohibited items include, but are not limited to;
- weapons of any kind, including firearms, ammunition, knives, swords, scissors, pepper spray and any dangerous items
- flashlights and laser pens and pointers
- interchangeable lens camera, video, and/or audio recording equipment
- bags or backpacks larger than “18” x 14” x 9”
- illegal drugs/substances and other related paraphernalia
- animals (except service animals)
- balloons, stickers, and glitter
- artificial noisemakers (airhorns, whistles, etc.)
- large and/or demonstration signs
- outside food and beverages except bottled water (if food is required due to a medical condition, please see Security or a staff member for accommodations)
