Navigating the Evening

The One Gala takes place across two venues within the Denver Performing Arts Complex: the Ellie Caulkins Opera House and the Seawell Ballroom. The venues are approximately a five-minute walk apart.

Please note the following as you plan your evening:

• Comfortable footwear is recommended due to venue transitions.
• Coat check will be available at both locations; however, lines may be longer during peak transition times.
  • If you check your coat at the Ellie during cocktail hour, you may wish to walk to the Seawell without it to avoid wait times.
• Cocktail Reception concludes at 6:30 PM. Guests arriving at or after this time should check in directly at the Seawell Ballroom.
• Dinner concludes at 8:30 PM. The performance begins promptly at 9:00 PM.
• Theater seating is first come, first served. Theatre doors will open at 8:30pm.
