The Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries and is home to The Royal Ballet, one of the greatest ballet companies.

The Royal Ballet is under the directorship of Kevin O’Hare and has extensive repertory that embraces 19th-century classics, the singular legacy of works by Founder Choreographer Frederick Ashton and Principal Choreographer Kenneth MacMillan and a compelling new canon by Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor and Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon.
