Royal Opera House

We made a booking to see the ballet here. What an amazing experience to see it in this historical place. Although we didn’t get a good seat it was good enough to see the wonderful ballet. I really enjoyed the ballet and will never forget this great memory in my life. I remember that once Charles Dickens said “ You never get bored in London” . I think he was right. 😃 There are so many fun things to do in London even if you don’t get drunk. 😋

A special birthday treat for my daughter's 17th, we watched Alice in Wonderland, a most magical ballet performance, with graceful dancing, superb special effects and costumes. Loved every moment, especially when the confetti came cascading down from the dome. The Queen of Hearts was at her wicked best - for me, she stole the show. At £ 190 each, sitting in J row was well worth the expense.

The Behind the Scenes Tour at the Royal Opera House was fantastic! The guide shared great insights into the history, stage machinery, and costume workshops. I loved seeing areas like the rehearsal rooms and prop storage that are usually off-limits. A must-do for anyone visiting London!

Stepping into the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, is like stepping into history itself. This grand institution, with its opulent interiors and a legacy stretching back centuries, holds a story in every corner, an experience captured in every performance. The moment we entered, we felt the weight of artistry, passion, and tradition that has graced this stage for generations. From the grandeur of the Paul Hamlyn Hall to the breathtaking view of the auditorium, every inch of the ROH is a testament to its dedication to excellence. The red velvet seats, the golden glow of the chandeliers, and the hushed anticipation before the curtain rises—all create a sense of magic that no recording or cinema screening could ever replicate. The acoustics are impeccable, ensuring that every note resonates through the soul, while the staging and production values are nothing short of world-class. My partner and I attended Puccini’s Turandot on March 29, 2025, a night that will remain etched in our memories. It was her favorite opera—one she had seen a million times on DVD—but seeing it live for the first time at the ROH was a revelation and for me this was my first ever opera. The sheer power of the orchestra, the soaring voices of the performers, and the sheer majesty of the set design brought the story to life in a way that only live opera can. The Royal Opera House is not just a venue—it is an experience, a sanctuary for the arts, and a temple for those who seek beauty in music and performance. Whether it’s your first opera or your hundredth, there is nothing quite like witnessing a masterpiece unfold on this legendary stage.

Went to roof bar for drinks with friends, good location and view of covent garden. Service minimal, you order your own drinks at the bar. Very limited list of cocktails, nothing fancy. Restaurant looks more interesting, will try that next time. Royal ballet and opera looks fabulous, good amenities.
