INDIVIDUAL LISTINGS

The programmes are also being offered individually through my items, allowing collectors to choose particular productions or casts.

The current individual asking prices add up to approximately £210.45.

COMPLETE COLLECTION: £159.99 + postage

This therefore represents a substantial saving compared with buying the programmes individually.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ

This is a genuine one-off opportunity to buy the complete collection in one transaction.

The programmes are being offered individually as well as in this job lot.

If you purchase the complete job lot, you will receive every one of the Royal Opera House programmes that is still available in my individual listings at the exact time your purchase is made.

Once the complete collection sells, all of the corresponding individual listings will be ended.

Conversely, if individual programmes sell before the job lot is purchased, those programmes will no longer be available as part of the collection.

In other words, the contents of the job lot are determined by which programmes remain unsold at the time you buy it.

A great opportunity for a serious Royal Opera House collector, opera enthusiast, researcher, theatre historian or dealer to acquire a substantial collection of original Covent Garden programmes in one purchase.

Please study the photographs and individual listings for further details of the programmes and their condition.
