Royal Opera House

The Royal Opera House has a legendary reputation for its outstanding interpretations of opera and ballet.

We have supported The Royal Opera House since the 1980s, focussing now on the BP Summer Big Screens. These live relays from the Royal Opera House's auditorium to giant screens across the UK, enable thousands of people to enjoy world class opera and ballet for free.

Tony Hall, chief executive of the Royal Opera House: The BP Summer Big Screens are one of the highlights of the Royal Opera House's Summer Season. Live screenings of Royal Ballet and Royal Opera performances are relayed direct from the main auditorium to huge screens at 19 locations in London and around the country.'

Monica Mason, director of The Royal Ballet, has experienced just what it's like to be a member of a BP Summer Big Screens audience: 'The atmosphere in Trafalgar Square is exceptional. I have talked to people in the audience who have just wandered by and, never having seen a ballet before, are entranced by what they are watching.'
