£10m pledged to Royal Opera House
The Royal Opera House
The Floral Hall was restored in 1999 as part of a £214m redevelopment
The Royal Opera House is to receive a £10m donation from the foundation of late philanthropist Lord Hamlyn.
The Covent Garden venue's Floral Hall will be renamed the Paul Hamlyn Hall in honour of the publisher and arts patron, who died in 2001.
It is one of the largest donations ever received by the Royal Opera House.
The ROH changed the name of its atrium to the Floral Hall after philanthropist Alberto Vilar paid only a fraction of a £10m donation he pledged in 1999."
