MCOpen 2026/27 Ticket Package

Step inside the music with MCOpen, our open dress rehearsal series. Get a glimpse of MCO behind the scenes in an informal daytime setting: a working rehearsal ahead of the evening concert! You’ll hear the music take shape in real time, with moments of repetition, adjustment, and discovery that are usually hidden from view. It’s a chance to experience the process behind the performance, and the human side of music-making. Perfect for curious newcomers and seasoned concertgoers alike, MCOpen is a convenient and affordable way to enjoy live music. Whether you’re joining us for the first time, returning with friends, or adding something extra to your evening concert experience, MCOpen offers a fresh perspective on the music you love, with opportunities to get a little closer to the artists.
