The 2013 Olivier Awards will be hosted at the Royal Opera House on April 28, 2013.

This is the 37^th annual awards ceremony and is the second year running that the event will take place at London’s Covent Garden venue.

The awards, which are run by the Society of London Theatre, were re-launched in 2011 to bring the event into a theatre setting after having been a dinner ceremony in previous years.

Eligible productions this year have until March 5, 2013 to enter and the final nominations will be announced on March 26, 2013.

The event is sponsored by Mastercard.
