The Royal Opera House warmly welcomes the newly announced package of government support for the arts sector. This is a vital next step on the road to recovery for the industry and will help to support and sustain the UK’s vibrant arts ecology through this crisis. 

There is much to achieve over the coming months and this package of support will be a catalyst for unlocking the extraordinary creativity embedded in the UK's world-renowned creative industries. 

Over the months ahead we will need to draw on all our collective ingenuity and determination to adapt to the realities of re-opening our theatres. We now look forward to the future and celebrating the return of our art forms, our community of staff and artists and importantly, welcoming our audiences back to the Royal Opera House.
