Alex Beard, chief executive of the Royal Opera House, said: ‘With the partnership between BP now in its 30th year, our BP Big Screens have become a staple of the summer diary.

‘Over the years, this collaboration has enabled more than half a million people to experience ballet and opera – many for the first time – and BP’s ongoing commitment means that together we are able to continue bringing the best the Royal Opera House has to offer to an ever-wider audience.’

Swan Lake will be shown on June 12 at 7.30pm, with La bohème on June 26 at 7.30pm and Don Giovanni on July 12, starting at 7pm.
