About Royal Ballet and Opera (Royal Opera House)
London's grand home of opera and ballet in Covent Garden, where world-class productions unfold beneath the glittering Floral Hall and a jewel-box auditorium.
Rising over Bow Street since 1732, the Royal Ballet and Opera is the beating heart of Covent Garden's theatreland and home to The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet. Its restored Victorian auditorium seats over 2,250 beneath tiers of red velvet and gilt, while the light-filled Floral Hall welcomes visitors by day. Come for a glittering evening performance, a backstage tour, or simply a coffee on the terrace overlooking the piazza. It remains one of the world's great stages.
