Royal Opera House (backstage tour)
Join one of the ROH expert guides and embark on an exclusive tour of its building, accessing spaces normally off-limits to the public.
The Royal Opera House is a magical place where magical things happen. We will visit the backstage areas with a guide and I will show you the front of house areas of one of the leading theatres in the world.
The venue itself is an awe inspiring palace, from the grand entrance to the ornate ceiling and the stunning glass architecture of the Paul Hamlyn Hall. It is a beautiful “historic meets modern” building.
The Backstage Tour includes an introduction to the colourful history of the theatre : who knew it was used for boxing, horse shows and even an ice rink ! During the Second World War the ROH was used as a dance hall.
As the ROH is a fully working theatre, each tour is a unique experience and could include opportunities to see The Royal Ballet in class, or the magnificent backstage technology in operation.
