The estate of the Royal Ballet & Opera includes three sites: the main site in Covent Garden with a 2,000+ seat theatre dating from 1858, along with redeveloped stages, rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, workshops, offices, and ancillary spaces, completed in 1999. Additional sites include a second theatre and refreshed front-of-house spaces, delivered via the Open Project in 2018, a Production Workshop and Costume Centre in Thurrock, Essex, and a 14,000m2 store in Aberdare, Wales.
