My boyfriend and I were super excited about this event and had really high hopes as far as safety measures were concerned. I had been recieving emails up until the day of telling me about important instructions that everyone needed to follow and specific protocols that would be enforced at the venue. Both myself and my boyfriend were relieved that the theater was taking COVID 19 seriously and were doing the right things on behalf of everyone's health..... Sadly, this was clearly just a ploy to sell tickets and make some money. Upon entering the venue it was clear that the emails I recieved were just a look good and strictly sent to appease the masses. Yes, we did have to present our vaccine cards, but that was the ONLY safety measure they held true to. There was no "health check" as described in the numerous emails I had recieved. The place was completely packed, every seat full. Not even the slightest attempt was made to space some of the seating out. Once seated, every attendee in our surrounding area removed their masks. No one cared. No one asked them to put them back on. There was no enforcement of these promised "safety measures". Needless to say, after 50 minutes of our neighbouring seats occupants coughing and sneezing and blowing their noses, without masks on, we decided we weren't interested in participating any further in The Nutcracker's COVID 19 party. We left. Because of this experience, regardless of the pandemic, or the resolution of, I will NEVER again attend an event there.
