Among a whole host of other projects working with schools and various groups in the Thurrock community, the ROH Design Challenge competition was created to open a window for young people onto the world of set design and theatrecraft. If you ever travel on the Shoeburyness to London rail line, you will see the huge living roof curving elegantly up from the houses below. In moving this large operation to the Thurrock neighbourhood, it was important, right from the start that the community could see what goes on in this distinctive building, with its living roof arching into the sky above the Thames. Once the production run is over, the sets are taken to the ROH stores in Wales, where they are kept until that piece of the ‘rep’ is revived in a future Season.
Every original set design for The Royal Opera and The Royal Ballet is now built and painted in this workshop space by our expert team of craftspeople, before being transported to ROH HQ for construction on the huge stage. In 2010 the Royal Opera House moved its set production facilities from east London to the new Bob and Tamar Manoukian Production workshop at High House in Purfleet, on the north side of the Thames Estuary.
