Royal Ballet and Opera House

As we launch our 2024/25 Season, we welcome a new era for the Royal Ballet and Opera
Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera. So to reflect that, we’re changing our name. From the start of the 2024/25 Season we will be the Royal Ballet and Opera.

About the Royal Ballet and Opera
The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts – we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world. This Season, the Royal Ballet and Opera will broadcast productions to 1,500 cinemas worldwide. Children in hundreds of schools across the country, who might otherwise not have access to the arts, will be offered opportunities, free specialist training and resources to inspire, educate and engage them in dance, music and design.
