Support us

We are determined to ensure that future audiences can continue to enjoy the ballet and opera you love, but we need your help. 

During the pandemic we lost £3 in every £5 of our income, and now the arts and live theatre face further financial uncertainty as a result of sharply rising costs, reduced funding and a harsh economic climate. Sustaining the future of ballet and opera has never been so important. Please consider making a donation to support the Royal Opera House's community of artists, technicians and craftspeople today.

Thank you for all help you give us.

 

Your donations enable us to: 
  • Engage our community of artists, craftspeople and staff in producing incredible performances and delighting audiences
  • Support the toes of our dancers with donations to our Pointe Shoe Appeal 
  • Preserve the heritage, and ensure the future, of Ballet and Opera through the generous donations made by those who have named a seat at the Royal Opera House
  • Maintain and protect our beautiful and iconic building

A full report of our expenditure in 2021/22 can be found in our Annual Report
