The Government believes that all art forms should be accessible to as many people as possible regardless of their background.<\/p>
Both the Royal Opera House (ROH) and the ROH Bridge Delivery Organisation, who receive Arts Council England (ACE) grants for 2018 - 22, have funding conditions linked to increasing participation in the arts through outreach work with schools and local communities. . T<\/strong>he ROH\u2019s excellent \u2018Welcome Performance\u2019 initiative aims to further increase family participation in the opera. Further details on the scheme can be found here: http://www.roh.org.uk/welcome-performances<\/a>.<\/p> The ROH also works with BP to produce Big Screen live relays of opera and ballet direct from Covent Garden to sites across the country. This enables ROH to reach as many people as possible with exhilarating live performances, allowing them to experience the very best of opera and ballet in their hometown for free.<\/p> ACE support a broad range of opera activity via their Project Grants (formerly Grants for the arts) programme including Blackheath Community opera; Erratica opera (experimental practice); the Classical Opera Company; Mid-Wales opera; Garsington Opera\u2019s education and engagement programme in East Lindsey, and many others.<\/p> In addition, the ACE funded London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment both have extensive community and education programmes that make a significant contribution to local music education delivery.<\/p>"}
