Royal Opera House
Covent Garden · Central London
Royal Opera House is the Covent Garden home of Royal Ballet and Opera, bringing opera and ballet to the Main Stage and the smaller Linbury Theatre. The venue name remains Royal Opera House; Royal Ballet and Opera is the organisation’s brand, not a second building to map. Public visitor areas include places to eat and drink and a shop. Check the performance space, ticket requirements and access route before visiting, as different activities use different parts of the complex.
