Welcome to the Royal Opera House Collections Online
Welcome to Royal Opera House Collections Online. The Royal Opera House
recently embarked on an exciting new project to open access to the rich
and varied materials housed in ROH Collections to as wide an audience as possible.
This website is the foundation stone of that project, and allows members
of the public to search, for the first time, the Collections Catalogue
and the Performance Database.
Two collections have been selected for the launch of the website:
the costume collection containing some 4,000 items,
and the Frank Sharman Photographic Collection of dance photographs from
the 1940s and 1950s. The introduction to ROH Collections provides
an overview of the collections housed at the Royal Opera House,
and as more collections are catalogued they will be placed online.
The Performance Database reproduces the information found
in the theatre’s programmes and is one of the most comprehensive databases
in use by a performing arts company. Selected records are available now,
and will continue to be added to on a regular basis.
Highlights from ROH Collections provides a detailed look at selected
treasures from the collections. Highlights will also be used to
acknowledge recent acquisitions,
or interesting items from a newly catalogued collection.
ROH Collections Online receives support
