The Stage published an article on about The Royal Ballet and Opera (RBO) 3rd August, saying:
"The RBO’s most recent annual report warns that the organisation needs about £60m in investment over the next three years ’just to keep the building open and functioning’". The annual report in question was for the year 2024-2025 and it was published in late March. The annual report also said the building would require "£250m needed over the next decade to remain a world-leading ballet and opera venue" .Click here to download the annual report. The quote can be found in Page 10.
San Francisco Ballet will return to Jacob's Pillow dance festival in August for the first time in 70 years, according to the Pointe magazine's article on 4th August.
