Riverstone’s exciting partnership with the world-renowned Royal Albert Hall in Kensington underlines a dedication to creating unforgettable cultural experiences for residents, who will benefit from a dynamic range of bespoke events and TED-style talks from leading cultural figures at the iconic music venue. In turn, they’ll be helping support one of the country’s foremost historical buildings, opened in 1871 by Queen Victoria.
“Many of our residents will be lifelong lovers of the arts and culture and will want to continue to make the most of the London lifestyle. As such, they will relish such a strong connection with the Royal Albert Hall.” Shannan Hodgson, Chief Marketing Officer at Riverstone,
And Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at the Royal Albert Hall added -
“The Royal Albert Hall is a global icon with community at its heart. From its conception, Prince Albert envisaged a place where people from all walks of life could come to experience the very best of culture and the arts together. We are thrilled to announce this partnership with the hope that it will bring much joy and that the Royal Albert Hall and Riverstone will also enrich our local communities for many years to come.”
English National Opera

Riverstone is delighted to partner with the English National Opera, underlining our shared ambition to offer exceptional experiences. Both organisations believe in the power of storytelling, especially around making the most of later living.

It will allow the magic of opera to be brought to all Riverstone residents, as well as hosting unique events around themes designed to delight and engage.
Shannan Hodgson, Chief Marketing Officer, Riverstone

Partnering with ENO offers an exciting opportunity to embrace this and work with a brand that aligns our mutual belief that opera and stories can bring communities together.”
Emma Reid, Head of Partnerships at ENO added:
“ENO believe in changing lives through opera. We believe that opera is for everyone, and our audiences don’t have to be experts to enjoy the beautiful productions. We love to tell stories from all perspectives and to all types of people and are so pleased to be able to tell Riverstone’s own story. ENO are so delighted to be working with Riverstone and to announce this fantastic partnership.”

Glyndebourne
—
Neil Matthews, Trusts and Partnerships Manager at Glyndebourne said: ‘Glyndebourne is dedicated to encouraging gifted artists at every stage of their career. One of the ways we do that is through our Cover Artists programme. For each production we contract a complete second cast, known as cover artists, to act as understudies. The cover artists, many still early in their careers, receive five weeks of intensive coaching during our annual summer Festival from the same staff directors, music and language coaches who are working with the principals, offering an invaluable development opportunity. We’re delighted to be partnering with Riverstone to continue this work and nurture the stars of tomorrow.'
Glyndebourne is recognised internationally; a reputation that stems from a passion for artistic excellence encapsulated in founder John Christie’s insistence on doing ‘not the best we can do but the best that can be done anywhere’.
John and his opera singer wife, Audrey Mildmay, founded the Glyndebourne Festival in 1934 and in the years that followed, Glyndebourne continued to be headed by the Christie family. John and Audrey’s son George Christie took over the reins in 1962 and his son Gus has been Glyndebourne’s executive chairman since 2000. Glyndebourne is now one of the finest and most celebrated opera houses in the world, delivering performances to some 150,000 people across a summer Festival and autumn performances.
The National Gallery

For 200 years, The National Gallery has been a beacon of inspiration for artists worldwide, housing some of the most renowned paintings and standing as a proud cultural landmark in London’s Trafalgar Square.
This year, we are thrilled to support the "Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look" Exhibition, which delves into the journey of one of the UK’s most celebrated modern artists, David Hockney. The exhibition highlights how a visit to The National Gallery to view Piero della Francesca’s masterpiece inspired Hockney's artistic ambitions, with frequent homages to Piero’s "Baptism of Christ" evident in his work.
We look forward to the exclusive events we will be hosting in collaboration with National Gallery at our residences later this year.
