THE ROYAL OPERA HOUSE ZOEKT TECHNICAL DIRECTOR |
1. Background - A Decade of Achievement
In the ten years since the Royal Opera House reopened to the general public on 4 December 1999, we have consolidated our position as one of the world’s leading cultural institutions. We are defined by world-class facilities, stages and performances, and recognised globally for our unrelenting pursuit of excellence and our continuing efforts to increase participation and widen access to our work.
During the past decade we are proud to have staged thousands of opera and ballet performances and attracted millions of visitors. In the last ten years we have hosted myriad exhibitions, events and workshops and supported schools and colleges across the country. Throughout the day, every day, there is always something to inspire at the Royal Opera House.
The Royal Ballet, led by Monica Mason, has produced exceptional work, evolved groundbreaking choreography through Wayne McGregor and others and facilitated the emergence of great new dancing talent. Under the musical direction of Antonio Pappano, The Royal Opera has replenished the core repertory with some significant new productions and introduced a number of pieces never before seen at Covent Garden. As well as some spectacular Italian and German operas, Pappano has reintroduced French repertory and commissioned new works to great critical and audience acclaim. Deborah Bull has shaped ROH2’s programme across all of our spaces to create a ultifaceted body of work which develops and nurtures new artists and appeals to a broad cross-section of audiences.
This year also represents nearly ten years of Tony Hall’s leadership in shaping the organisation for the 21st century. His vision has resulted in the Royal Opera House leading in digital developments and new technologies. We have increased our reach through new initiatives: developing education and embracing opportunities to lead regeneration projects in bold and innovative ways, such as in Thurrock and Manchester. Throughout this period we have developed our international partnerships and touring to wide acclaim. Our building is world-class. After a decade in our new home, we will continue to ensure that we do it justice with the high quality of our work and our ambitions for the future.
