About the Royal Opera House Open-Up project We believe that opera and ballet should be experienced by everyone, and our Open Up project will make the Royal Opera House a daytime destination open to everyone, every day from 10am. The new bars, cafés, restaurants, free events and unique front-of-house displays will transform these dedicated new spaces, welcoming everyone to our revitalized home. The brand new Linbury Theatre will become the West End’s newest, most intimate theatre, showcase the best of our art forms and provide a wealth of innovative world premieres, co-productions and collaborations. Philanthropy The construction cost for the whole Open Up project is estimated at £50.7m, with all of the funds raised from philanthropy. These trusts, foundations and individuals who are closest to us were asked to make an exceptional gift on top of their ongoing support of the Royal Opera House. The Royal Opera House is truly grateful to the following: The Linbury Trust The Monument Trust The Clore Duffield Foundation Mrs Susan A. Olde OBE The Dorfman Foundation Dr Genevieve Davies and family The Taylor Family Foundation Mr Stefan Sten Olsson Dunard Fund Garfield Weston Foundation The Kirsh Foundation Sir Robey The Sackler Trust The Celia Blakey Charitable Trust Mrs Lily Safra The Hobson Charity Tim and Sarah Bunting Hamish and Sophie Forsyth Sir Simon and Lady Robertson
