The RAT Stand was born in 1976 when one of the UK’s leading opera companies commissioned the design of an all-new illuminated music stand. Since then 500 opera houses, theatres, concert halls and civic centres all over the world have come to value our music stands and lights. Our design philosophy is quite a simple one, to be inspired by the world’s most demanding musicians to create the best poss

ible music stands, lights and accessories. The result is a range of products that employ simple, beautiful designs and technically advanced materials to support new heights of artistic performance. RATstands lights, music stands and conductor stands are now the preferred choice of leading music venues across the world, from Abbey Road Studios to the Metropolitan Opera House and Sydney Opera House.

A wonderful moment captured by clarinettist Max Brenner Opferkuch during a performance with the LA Phil at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

There’s something special about those final moments before a concert begins... The anticipation, focus, and excitement of live performance.

Introducing the 50th Anniversary Home Studio Collection 🎼

To celebrate 50 years of design and innovation, we’ve reimagined two of our most iconic products for today’s creative spaces - the Opera Stand and Opera Chair, now available in a refined champagne finish.

Originally designed for use in opera houses, orchestras, theatres, and recording studios around the world, these pieces have supported generations of professional performance. Now, they’ve been thoughtfully adapted for modern home studios and creative environments - where function and design matter equally.

Proudly made in the UK.
