About The Royal Opera
The Royal Opera, under the artistic direction of Antonio
Pappano, Music Director, and Oliver Mears, Director of Opera, is one of the world’s
leading opera companies. Based in the iconic Covent Garden theatre, it is
renowned both for its outstanding performances of traditional opera and for
commissioning new works by today’s leading opera composers, such as George
Benjamin, Kaija Saariaho, Mark-Anthony Turnage and Thomas Adès.
About the Royal Opera House
Home to The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and the Orchestra
of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Opera House brings together world-class
performers and trailblazing creative teams to share unforgettable performances
with audiences near and far. Our theatres are in London’s Covent Garden, but
our work is accessed and experienced across the UK and globally through our
streams, tours, cinema programme, radio broadcasts and TV output.
Over the course of the pandemic, we curated the #OurHouseToYourHouse programme – nine live-streamed concerts and 38 productions from our archives. Content was viewed over 15 million times in 183 countries, and broadcast in partnership with the BBC, Sky Arts, Marquee TV and Netflix. During the pandemic we lost £3 in every £5 of our income and we continue to feel the financial impact as we slowly recover.
In September 2021, we returned for our first full Season since 2019, presenting a packed programme of world premieres, landmark new productions and returning favourites. Since then, we have expanded our audience through a flagship Young ROH scheme, returned to live cinema, launched Royal Opera House Stream, and extended our national impact through an ambitious curriculum-linked programme for schools, specially designed to ignite creativity, broaden participation and diversify the future of opera and ballet. We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and aim to achieve net zero emissions by 2035.
About ROH Cinema
Since 2008, our cinema programme has brought over 120 opera
and ballet broadcasts to audiences across the globe. It now reaches more than
1,500 cinemas from the UK to New Zealand, bringing the best of our resident
companies to the big screen. Each broadcast offers audiences the best seat in
the house, and includes exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and
insights into the rehearsal process. The programme forms an integral part of
our plan to secure our future, expand audiences and continue to help facilitate
the vital recovery of cinema domestically and internationally.
