Know Before You Go
These are frequently asked questions about our symphony orchestra concerts at Riverview Theatre.
There is no formal dress code; you will see people in everything from jeans to cocktail dresses. Wear what is comfortable for you and come enjoy the music!
At least 30 minutes before the concert begins. This gives you plenty of time to park, pick up your tickets at the box office if needed, grab a drink, find your seats, and review your program. Most symphony concerts start on time, so this is not the occasion to which you want to be “fashionably” late!
As a courtesy to all patrons, you will be seated by an usher at the first suitable pause in the performance.
Most concerts are two hours including a 20-minute intermission.
Clap when you like what you hear! Some audience members choose not to clap between movements during classical pieces, as this has been customary for many years. But there are no hard and fast rules!
Call our office at 318-227-7496 or come by the box office the night of the performance. We will gladly reissue your tickets.
...Is this the Shreveport Symphony? Of course! Refreshments are available for purchase before the performance and during intermission at each concert held at the RiverView Theater.
As a courtesy to other audience members, we ask that you do not take photos or videos during the performance. However, feel free to snap a photo before the music starts, or at the end while everyone takes a bow! We encourage you to share your experience at the Shreveport Symphony on socials.
Please silence your phones during the concert. The sound of a text or call will take you out of the moment every time!
In accordance with the ADA, RiverView Theater is fully accessible to our patrons who need accommodations. Please be sure to mention the need for ADA floor seating when purchasing concert tickets. NOTE: There is no elevator to the Loge or Balcony
