The Royal Opera house is a very nice building located right in the Centre of Londonâ¬"s West End and the performances they put on there are usually very good. However I find the ticket prices astoundingly expensive e.g. when I wanted to go and see Candide performed here. Generally, for the back seat at the opera you could afford 1-2 best seats to go and see Phantom of the Opera at Her Majestyâ¬"s Theatre on Haymarket. I realise not everyone likes musicals who likes opera but this is what I generally do. Save this for a very special occasion, otherwise do something else on your day/ night out.]]> Sun, 24 Aug 2008 10:58:46 +0000 /review/uk/london/events/1p32o7i/royal-opera-house/1m7cw71166323153 kgc 51.511956156098 -0.12368205366684 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/events/1p32o7i/royal-opera-house/160cl7

We noticed the Royal Opera House tucked away in the corner of Covent Garden on our way to the market. We discovered that they do a backstage tour for the very reasonable price of £9.00 a ticket. As very non-opera people, I was a bit worried we might be a bit out of place but it was fascinating. We sat in the magnificent auditorioum whilst they set up for the opening night of Carmen and were given a really interesting history of the theatre and its recent refurbishment. We were able to view the backstage area, props department and even got to watch the ballet dancers from the Royal Ballet rehearse an upcoming performance. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful, and the building itself is amazing. We came away with a great insight into the most used working theatre in Europe and wanting to go and see a performance. Well worth a visit!]]> Fri, 22 Aug 2008 23:36:14 +0000 /review/uk/london/events/1p32o7i/royal-opera-house/160cl71991572410 candyshop 51.511956156098 -0.12368205366684
