Louise Stewart, Chief Executive of Alexandra Palace says: “We have faced and continue to face some incredibly difficult times but our lights have remained switched on throughout this period of uncertainty. We have collaborated with the likes of ENO on Europe’s first drive-in opera and Melody VR on virtual reality gigs whilst working tirelessly to support our local community. Our building became a giant food distribution hub during lockdown and we’ve continued to deliver activity from our creative learning programme online for families in our local community and beyond.
