Royal Opera House, in Mumbai (Bombay), is India's only surviving opera house.
Situated on Charni Road, near Girgaum Chowpatti, the adjective ‘Royal’ was prefixed to ‘Opera House’ to reflect the fact that its foundation stone was laid during the British Raj in 1909, and King George V inaugurated the building in 1911 while the building was still under construction. Work on the Royal Opera House was completed in 1912, although additions were made to the building up to 1915.
