More about Mayerling - Royal Ballet and Opera

When all-consuming passion becomes a royal scandal.

Crown Prince Rudolf is tormented by dark obsessions, shared only by the beautiful Baroness Mary Vetsera. Stifled by the oppressive conventions and pageantry of the Austro-Hungarian court, Rudolf and Mary start meeting in secret. As fervent desire combines with a fascination for death, what begins as a clandestine love affair hurtles towards tragedy. Can either of them survive this twisted love affair?

History will play out in front of your eyes with Kenneth MacMillian’s signature ballet Mayerling returning to Covent Garden this spring.

View Seating Plan

There are level entrances to the Royal Opera House from :

  • The New Arcade in the corner of Covent Garden Piazza. 
  • Bow Street immediately to the left of the Paul Hamlyn Hall (close to the Box Office and Information Desk).
  • There is lift access to all levels of the main auditorium except the Orchestra Stalls, which is reached by a single flight of stairs.

A lay-by allows vehicles to pull off Bow Street immediately outside the Paul Hamlyn Hall to drop off disabled passengers. The disabled parking bays on the opposite side of Bow Street and in Floral Street cater for the whole Covent Garden area, not just the Royal Opera House.

The Box Office, Royal Opera House Shop, Information Desk and Cloakroom are situated at the entrance level below the Paul Hamlyn Hall. Counter heights at the Box Office, in the bars and at some public telephone points are designed to be accessible for wheelchair users. One Box Office sales position, the Information Desk and bars have induction loops to assist customers with impaired hearing. Menus are available in large print. The Bow Street/Piazza Link Coffee Shop is also accessible to wheelchair users.

Guide dogs are welcome in the auditoria or can be looked after at the foyer cloakroom by front-of-house staff.
