The period il covers, induding the 2020121 Season, has been a profoundly drficum one for the House. I would therefore like to extend my gratitude to everyone who has conlribuied so much to securing Ihe sutmval ol the ROH and to puiting it on a sustainable looh.ng for Ihe future. It has been a privilege lo hav• workéd such a dedicated and'talented team. During the perK)d ol this report Dawd Ross slocxy dowTr as Chairand l agreed to take up the role again. for 8 limited peiiod. I would like to reiterate my thanks to Oavid for his leadership and guidance. In the 2020121 Season, much reduced as it was, Ihe qual¢ty and rdnge of work that emerged wa5 remarkable. It was inspiring to observe the House being opened whenever it was possible. Ihe extension and growth of our digital and other remote offerings. aThJ adjustmenls made to prthjuctions and audience farAlitses. often at the last minute, to acconmnodate rapidly changing uThmstances. l offer my huge congrntulations to our staff and my thauks to everyone who ha5 SUPPOrted u5 and shown suth pab.tnce aryj understand9 é&spite th8 disrUp.0n 8nd uncertainty. At the tirrE of writing our frtouse is open. There are signs that plans for the fthure can be made without th8 sha¢Jow of Covid and from our posits.on as a twly wcrfid-class arb"S1 inslitution. That said we still face many challenges. Notrrfithstanding the support from HMG, ACE, thjr patrons. friends and othets. to each of whom l offer desp 9tude. we inevitably emerge from the parKJemiG in a Igss robust finanthal posib.on than we would like. We remain reli8nt of the continued support of ACE and all of you. The tearn also instigated 8 f8r- reaching restructuring of Ihe organisation to ensure our long4erm Via"(1ty and prepadDesS to respond to rapidly changing wortd. Many CagueS have sadly left us aTrJ I would like to pay tribute lo their hard work and contribution over many years. They ¥# be missed.
