The following question was sent to editor Sophie Pappas. If you have a question for the editor please email it to [email protected].
Q: Dear editor, my first trip to the Palladium will be in November to see Tony Bennett. A tie is never my first choice, but sometimes a necessity. Can you please educate me on the proper dress code for this event?
A: Dear reader, your question poses an interesting dilemma in today’s contemporary culture. While many of us have no problem wearing jeans and a casual shirt to restaurants, or even church, if you visit The Palladium, you should put a little bit more effort in. The Palladium’s design is based off of Renaissance-era architect Andrea Palladio’s famed villa near Venice. A trip to Carmel’s Palladium will, no doubt, take you back to images of old-world Italy. (Not to mention the interior of the building, which is breathtaking in and of itself.) The Palladium does not have a dress code policy posted for its shows, however the very design of the Palladium warrants the wearing of your Sunday best, or in this case, a simple tie and dress slacks. Have fun!
