Royal Opera House - Trustee

The Royal Opera House is seeking a new trustee with experience in Built Environment and Design.

About

Home to The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, the Royal Opera House (ROH) brings together world-class performers and trailblazing creative teams to share unforgettable performances with audiences near and far. Its theatres are in London`s Covent Garden, but its work is accessed and experienced across the UK and globally through streams, tours, cinema relays, radio broadcasts and TV output.

ROH is one of the busiest theatres in the world, delivering over 400 performances and around 1,350 learning events each year. It employs 1100 permanent staff and generates a turnover of £135m, attracting 1.5m attendances in Covent Garden and in cinemas, further extended via broadcasting, digital activity and collaboration with touring companies.

ROH strives to develop audiences across the UK and internationally, and to break new ground in the presentation of lyric theatre. As times have changed, it has remained at the vanguard of innovation in the ways in which audiences can experience opera and ballet. The aim is for audiences to interact, create and engage in ROHs artforms, physically and digitally.

Public service values, and the need to be financially sustainable, sit right at the heart of this ambition. ROH seeks to inspire audiences through exceptional and accessible music and dance, opera and ballet.
