How to Find Performance Dates and Venues for Royal Ballet and Opera Productions
Updated
Every production listing on rbo.org.uk pairs a date range with a venue, so you can find both pieces of information in the same place. On the site, each entry shows the production title, its run dates (for example, "13 October - 25 November 2026"), and the theatre it plays in — either Main Stage or Linbury Theatre — followed by a "More info" link. To get the most current schedule, check the production listing itself rather than relying on a previously saved date, since runs can be updated.
What a listing entry contains
Each production card follows the same pattern:
| Element | Example |
|---|---|
| Venue | Main Stage |
| Category | Ballet and dance / Opera and music |
| Title | Manon |
| Date range | 13 October - 25 November 2026 |
| Short description | "Kenneth MacMillan's devastating ballet of decadence and decay – a woman torn between luxury and love." |
| Link | More info |
The venue appears as a label above the category and title, so you can tell at a glance whether a production is on the Main Stage or in the Linbury Theatre.

How to check the current schedule
- Open the production listing on rbo.org.uk.
- Find the production you're interested in.
- Read the date range directly beneath the title.
- Note the venue label (Main Stage or Linbury Theatre) shown with the entry.
- Select "More info" for further details on that production.
Because the listing is organized by production, each title appears with its own dates and venue — you don't need to cross-reference a separate calendar to know where a show is playing. If a date range looks incomplete or a production appears without dates (as with Alcina in the excerpt above), open the "More info" link or revisit the listing later for the confirmed schedule.
