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. . <strong>T</strong>he ROH’s
excellent ‘Welcome Performance’ initiative aims to further increase family participation
in the opera. Further details on the scheme can be found here: <a href="http://www.roh.org.uk/welcome-performances"

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><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’s education and engagement programme
in East Lindsey, and many others.</p><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
