Our Staff's tips for a perfect visit. On free admission days, the turnout is very high. Here's how to avoid long lines:

1. Choose smart times: Visit the Theatre early in the morning at opening (9:00 am) or lunchtime (between 1:00 pm and 2:30 pm).
2. No online queues: On these special dates, you cannot book online; show up directly at the box office.
3. Prepare for the sun: If you visit the site during the day, bring water and a hat to protect yourself while you wait.
