TheatreCraft 26: Centre Stage: How the ROH Stage Management Team Make the Whole Thing Happen

The Royal Opera House has one of the busiest stages in Europe, with over 300 performances a year. Everything that happens on the stage is organised and managed at some point by the stage management team, and nothing comes on or off the stage without them cueing it. Discover the different roles in the ROH stage management team and how they work with other departments to make our shows happen. See if you have got what it takes to run a show!

This session is hosted by the Stage Management team at the Royal Ballet & Opera.
