The Royal Opera House receives over 1 million visitors a year. Published jointly by the ROH and Oberon Books; this is the first ever guide to the magnificently rebuilt theatre. The guide covers the fascinating and turbulent history of the theatre at Covent Garden since the early 18th century; its recent redevelopment; the majestic auditorium and Linbury Studio; rehearsal studios; and world-class backstage technology. The vast backstage area houses one of the few wagon systems in operation; capable of moving entire stages and sets on and off the main stage. Also included; the spectacular Paul Hamlyn Hall built in 1858 from iron and glass; now annexed to the ROH as a spacious rendezvous and bar. This 64 page guide covers other ROH attractions including exhibition galleries; permanent art works and models; and details of all-day catering facilities and the rooftop restaurant with views over the Covent Garden Piazza. The guide is a must for anyone taking a guided tour or planning to visit the Opera House in the future; or indeed for all those fans of this brilliant company and fantastic building.
