Ar Chwefror y cyntaf 2025 bydd y Bale Frenhinol ac Opera yn cynnal ei arwerthiant gwisgoedd cyntaf yn Ne Cymru, gyda miloedd o eitemau ar gael o rai o’n sioeau mwyaf annwyl.
Bydd gwerthiant gwisgoedd y Bale Frenhinol ac Opera yn cynnwys dros 10,000 o ddarnau gan gynnwys eitemau o, Macbeth, Carmen, The Queen of Spades, Gloriana, Eugene Onegin, The Tales of Hoffmann, The Bartered Bride, Così Fan Tutte, Les Huguenots, Samson et Dalila, Love and Violence, The Rake's Progress, La bohème ac Anna Nicole ymhlith llawer o rai eraill.
Bydd ddillad modern, gwisgoedd cyfnod, gwisg ffansi, hetiau, ategolion, esgidiau, gwisgoedd milwrol a phopeth rhyngddynt ar gael – efallai y dewch o hyd i eitem gydag enw perfformiwr enwog ar y label.
Bydd y digwyddiad hwn yn cael ei gynnal yn uned storio golygfeydd yr RBO yn Aberdâr. Mae'r tocynnau am ddim, ond rhaid eu harchebu ymlaen llaw.
Rydym yn parhau i weithio tuag at dim gwastraff ac yn anelu at wneud y gwerthiant hwn mor gynaliadwy â phosibl. Bydd yr holl eitemau sydd heb eu gwerthu yn cael eu cynnig i elusennau lleol. A fydd yr holl arian a godir yn gymorth i Sefydliad Covent Garden y Tŷ Opera Brenhinol.
Adeiladwyd yr uned storio yn Aberdâr ym 1995, ac ariannwyd yn rhannol gan Awdurdod Datblygu Cymru. Yn wreiddiol roedd yn gyfleuster storio pedwar cilfach gyda chynhwysedd o 720 o leoliadau paled wedi’u gwneud yn arbennig. Ddefnyddir y llawr enfawr yn bennaf ar gyfer adeiladu set ac ati, yn ogystal a llwytho a dadlwytho i dros y byd i gyd.
Yn fuan iawn roeddem yn llawn, a lluniwyd cynlluniau yn gyflym ar gyfer estyniad o 50%, a gynyddodd ein storfa i 6 bae gyda chynhwysedd newydd o 1080 o baletau.
Rydym yn storio tua 150 o Faledi ac 80 o Operâu yn Aberdâr.

The building is one floor and there is step-free access across the site. There is an accessible bathroom.
We are expecting this event to be very busy which means it might be loud at times. The lighting is a mix of natural and artificial light and the flooring is hard and smooth. Because the event is held in a warehouse, it can be cold so we advise you take this into consideration when packing.
There will be staff available for assistance throughout the day.
