ROH plans

The Royal Opera House (ROH) and Manchester City Council have reached an agreement regarding the proposed northern base for the ROH at Manchester’s Palace Theatre. The plans had been contested by the Lowry, but “clear and distinct artistic identities” have now been agreed. The Lowry will continue to present theatre, ballet and dance, while the ROH and the Palace will be primarily a producing venue for opera and music theatre.
