Welsh National Opera

The Welsh National Opera has a significant importance to the history of RATstands. In 1976 the orchestra manager of the Welsh National Opera commissioned his brother to design an all-new illuminated music stand. The Orchestra bought 50 of the stands and the RAT Opera Stand was born. Today the WNO continue to use the iconic Opera Stand as well as the Jazz Stand and Opera Chair.

“Our relationship with RAT stands goes back decades – and for good reason! The quality of product – whether music stands, stand lights, or more recently their amazing chairs for our musicians – allows WNO to deliver inspirational performances, whether at home in Cardiff, across the UK or around the world. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.”
