The bottom line is that I’ve never seen anyone in a ballgown sneer at anyone wearing a T-shirt, so don’t worry too much about your clothing. Wear something that you can shed in case it’s warmer than you expected, or bring a sweater in case the opposite is true.
Layer! Opera houses can be cold or hot depending on the climate and time of year. I myself fall into this category I work from home, so I rarely have the need to wear anything that even comes close to the border of “nice,” so the opera is a good time to put on my suit or get a new sports jacket. That said, many people think of attending the opera as a fun excuse to get gussied up. When non-operagoers think about attending the opera, they tend to think of the latter because of the stereotypes reinforced by movies and television, but the truth is that you should go to the opera in clothing that makes you feel comfortable remember that most operas last at least two and half hours, so you’ll be doing a lot of sitting! Many opera houses have relatively little leg room. You’ll see it all, from jeans and T-shirts to tuxedos and ballgowns. In the U.S., there is no dress code for the opera. In fact, if you don’t, the people sitting behind you will thank you for it. Julie Denesha is a freelance photographer and reporter for KCUR.No, you don’t have to wear a bird hat (see image).

“I wouldn’t be telling you the truth if I didn’t admit to trying on a few pieces,” she says. “Here you can just come and buy it from us readymade.”Įven Sandler says she’s taken a turn in the dressing room. “There are things they would probably make themselves that might cost them time and money,” Zsohar says.
