A chance to look at the revamped ROH this weekend:
The Royal Opera House will be open as part of Open House London
Saturday 22 - Sunday 23 September. 10am – 6pm, free entry.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FIFTEEN YEARS THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE WILL OPEN ITS DOORS FOR OPEN HOUSE LONDON WEEKEND
Saturday 22 – Sunday 23 September, 10am – 6pm. Free entry
For the first time in fifteen years the Royal Opera House will take part in Open House London on Saturday 22nd – Sunday 23 September, 10am – 6pm. Offering the perfect opportunity to come and see the Opera House’s newly refurbished public spaces and experience the new Linbury Theatre, the West Ends newest most intimate theatre.
Having undergone a major £50.7m three year refurbishment by architects Stanton Williams, the Royal Opera House has transformed its public spaces with inviting new entrances, extended foyers and terraces, a new café, bar and restaurant. The refurbishment is part of the Open Up project unveiling the Royal Opera House as a destination venue open to non ticket holders throughout the day and night. At the heart of this project is a brand new Linbury Theatre, providing an additional world-class stage for The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and a host of internationally celebrated artists and partners.
During Open House weekend visitors can take in the new spaces, café, restaurant and shop which stocks a selection of bespoke merchandise inspired by the art forms of ballet and opera. Animating the new Linbury Theatre over this weekend will be a world premiere of Faces, a short film by choreographer and filmmaker Kim Brandstrup. Staring Carlos Acosta, Alina Cojocaru and Zenaida Yanowsky, the film is set to music by Francois Couperin.
A pop up exhibition by Stanton Williams charts the three year refurbishment project from initial design to completion. Also on display will be pieces from the Royal Opera House archive including Margot Fonteyn’s iconic Black Swan tutu from the 1950s production of Swan Lake and Maria Callas’ costume from Franco Zeffirelli’s 1964 production ofTosca.
In addition to the new spaces the main auditorium designed in 1856 by EM Barry will also be open for visitors to experience.
