ABOUT THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE Home to The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Op- era House brings together world-class performers and trailblazing creative teams to share unforgettable per- formances with audiences near and far. Our theatres are in London’s Covent Garden, but our work is accessed and experienced across the UK and globally through tours, cinema seasons, free outdoor screenings, radio broadcasts, TV programmes and on Royal Opera House Stream. Over the course of the pandemic, we curated the #Our- HouseToYourHouse programme made up of nine live- streamed concerts and 38 full-length streamed produc- tions from our archives. Full-length content was viewed over 15 million times in 183 countries, and was paired with a host of cultural highlights in partnership with the BBC, Sky Arts, Marquee T and Netflix. We returned for our first full Season following the pan - demic in September 2021, sharing a packed programme of world premieres, landmark new productions and re-
turning favourites. Since then, we have expanded our au- dience through a flagship Young ROH scheme, returned to live cinema relays, and extended our national impact through an ambitious curriculum-linked programme for schools, specially designed to ignite creativity, broaden participation and diversify the future of opera and ballet. We realise our responsibility and obligation to reduce our impact on the environment, and are committed to net zero emissions by 2035 for Scopes 1 and 2, and to setting targets for our Scope 3 emissions by 2025. We are one of the busiest theatres in the world, deliver- ing over 400 performances and around 1,350 learning events each year, employing 1,000 permanent staff and generating a turnover of £142 million and attracting 1.5m attendances in Covent Garden and in cinemas, further extended via broadcasting, digital activity and collaboration with touring companies. We operate over three sites, our main Grade 1 listed Covent Garden the- atre, our workshops in Purfleet and scenery warehouse at Aberdare. You can find out more by reading our latest annual report.
