The Royal Opera House is a stunningly grand, colonnaded building in the heart of Covent Garden with a magnificent horseshoe-shaped auditorium and world-class acoustics. Although the current building is ostensibly new, the Opera House has been present here since 1732 and seats almost 2,300 people over four tiers of boxes and balconies.
Not only is it home to the Royal Opera, it is home to the Royal Ballet and every one of the world’s most famous dancers have performed here including Prima ballerina assoluta Dame Margot Fonteyn, Alicia Markova, Carlos Acosta and Rudolf Nureyev.
