Map

There is a touch screen in the foyer near the ticket office which has an interactive map. The map shows which entrance is nearest your seat, as well as information about elevators, toilets, cafés, wardrobes and more. Click here to see the map (it will open in a new tab).

Cloakrooms/wardrobe

Cloakrooms can be found on all floors. Choose the cloakroom that is nearest to the section you are sitting in to avoid long queues.

Toilets 

Toilets are available on all floors.

There are often much shorter queues to bathrooms on higher floors than the ground floor. Please use these if you are able, to minimise queues on the ground floor.

Programmes 

You can buy performance programmes in the box office, Opera shop or cloakrooms. Learn more about our programmes here.

Restaurant, bar, and cafe

  • The restaurant is at the opposite end of the foyer from the main entrance. Just continue around the curve of the high windows past the cafe and you will see it.
  • The cafe is in the middle of the foyer. During the interval you can also buy from a selection of the cafe menu at each of the cloakrooms.
  • The Opera Bar is two floors up, directly above the main entrance.
