The Royal Opera House continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings.

The Costume Logistics Team in both Aberdare and Covent Garden are essential to the smooth running of the Royal Opera House as they hold and facilitate all the costumes for our shows. It is important that we remain flexible in our working as requests are often added, as well as facilitating both our hires and co-productions. Responsibilities will include checking through and accurately logging costumes for current shows, cataloguing costumes, and loading/unloading of shows for transport - helping with the get in and get out.

Ideally, we are looking for individuals with:

• The ability to self-motivate and time manage
• A flexible approach as priorities shift from show to show
• Competency with computer/tablet/camera and good working knowledge of Microsoft Word & Excel
• Confidence in manual handling

Experience with basic sewing and repairs and a good knowledge of costume type and period as well as fabrics may also be beneficial for additional duties but is not essential for the get in/get out work.
