Narrative:
I forgot to coordinate odo (opposite direction operation) with ZZZ tower. Their active runway in use was runway xx and I ran aircraft X in for a practice RNAV yy approach without odo coordination. I had cleared the aircraft for the approach and then the satellite sectors were split and forgot to tell the other controller about the odo operation. ZZZ tower right now is on reduced operating times due to the covid-19 pandemic. Their tower operation opening and closing times are out of the norm and may have been a contributing factor in forgetting that they were open and coordination was needed for the odo operation.ZZZ1 tower was on a xy's operation while ZZZ tower was on a runway xx operation which added to the confusion of what runway was in use at ZZZ.I just need to do a better job of remembering everything.
