DIGITAL CONTENT – FAQs

 

How will I get access to the performance?

Once you buy your ticket, you’ll receive a confirmation email within 15 minutes. Closer to the premiere, you’ll receive a pre-show reminder with instructions on how to watch. If you don’t receive an email confirming your purchase, please contact the Box Office at boxoffice@royalmtc.ca. Don’t forget to check your spam folder!

Can I watch the show on my TV/phone or do I have to watch it on my computer?

We suggest a larger screen for the best viewing experience but any device should work, as long as you can login to your Royal MTC account. Please remember that virtual performances must be viewed in a web browser.
 

How do I WATCH the performance on my TV?

Virtual performances must be viewed in a web browser, whether that's on a computer, tablet, mobile device or smart TV. It may be possible to view on your TV depending on your device or TV.  Some devices can “cast”, “mirror” or “pair” with each other. YouTube has some helpful videos and tips on how to connect your devices.
 

Are Closed Captions available?

Yes! Just click the CC icon on the video and closed captioning will appear on the screen.
 

How long is the performance?

Running times are on the show pages. Go to 'Shows & Events' at the top of your screen and choose the production you're interested in. The show length will be listed on that page.
 

How can I find out more about the CAST AND CREATIVE TEAM?

We create free digital programs that you can read as a pdf document or browse like a virtual magazine. You can find it on the show page once it becomes available.


WHAT WEB BROWSER WORKS BEST TO VIEW DIGITAL CONTENT?

While we have tested our digital content on all browsers, we've received feedback that Chrome, Safari or Microsoft Edge seem to work the most smoothly. Older browsers such as Internet Explorer or Firefox may not work quite as well.
