The Britten Theatre is one of London's best-loved opera stages. Its responsive acoustics and intimate auditorium are appreciated by performers and audiences alike.

With excellent technical facilities, the theatre is in regular use as the focus of the thriving RCM Opera Studio, but also hosts a variety of instrumental performances, including a chamber music series and concerts by the RCM Jazz Orchestra. It benefits from an orchestra pit for 80 musicians, a Steinway grand piano, four dressing rooms, a seating capacity of 400, as well as its own bar and foyer.
