Getting there & doing it
The nearest Underground station is Covent Garden (Piccadilly Line).
The ROH’s programme runs throughout most of the year, with many operas and ballets booking up months ahead, so check the What’s On page of the website well before your trip.
Many levels and styles of seating mean that tickets range from as little as £4 (standing, in the slips) to £245pp for an orchestra or a box seat at that year’s headline opera. Ballets tend to have more affordable tickets. Download the ROH app to order drinks to your seat.
