Our Costume Appeal has always been vital in supporting our costume workshops. Your support ensures all of our performers are able to step out onto our stage in world-class costumes that can withstand the unique conditions of performing at the Royal Opera House.  

The role of our costume teams, however, has taken on an additional focus as we work towards achieving our sustainability goals. In particular, our Costume Workshops are playing an important part in our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. The work they do maintaining and adapting costumes extends their longevity, reducing both the need for new costumes to be made and the impact of our productions on the environment.  

Creating sustainable productions requires an investment of time and effort. Please consider giving to the Costume Appeal today and play a vital part in helping the Royal Opera House reach our sustainability goals.
