Royal Opera House

Most amazing architecture everywhere. Love the posters everywhere and costumes too. Great shop. The ballet so beautiful but could really hear the banging under shoes on the floor boards over the music. Costumes most amazing and gave full additions to movement. Saw giselle and the smoke , costumes, ballet of the Willis was incredible and stirring. Set fabulous too. I just wish I had been closer and lower to see and appreciate more the dance and movement but however I could still appreciate the complexity of steps and work gone into the performance and at times was blown away from this and the strength of the dancers and their ability.

Right in Covent Garden, home for Royal Ballet and Opera 🩰 Inside, stunning theater architecture with all velvety red or gold, but they also have a brilliant rooftop terrace where you can grab a drink and look out over the city. Perfect place if you want to dress up a bit and experience some world-class music or dance in a really historic setting. My only disappointments were the tiny seats and confusing setting to find your spot if you are anywhere above the 2nd floor.

There is nothing quite like the grandeur of the Royal Ballet and Opera in London’s Covent Garden. As one of the world's leading performing arts venues, the architecture alone is enough to take your breath away. From the historic facade to the stunning modern glass interior of the Paul Hamlyn Hall, every corner of this building speaks of art and history. On my visit, I was captivated by the atmosphere. Even if you aren't seeing a show, the building itself is a masterpiece to explore. The views from the terrace are wonderful, and the blend of classic Victorian architecture with contemporary design is truly unique. It’s a place where tradition meets world-class performance. Travel Tips for your visit: • Terrace Views: Make sure to visit the upper terrace for a fantastic view over Covent Garden market. It’s a great spot for photos! • Book in Advance: If you plan on catching a performance, seats fill up fast, so book weeks or even months ahead. • Explore Covent Garden: After your visit, take some time to walk around Covent Garden for street performances and great dining options. A visit to the Royal Ballet and Opera is a must for anyone looking to experience the true cultural heart of London. A perfect way to end my journey through the city! 🎭🎻

What a wonderful experience! We booked the “Behind the Scenes Tour” at the Royal Ballet and Opera close to Covent Garden. Linda, our guide, was very enthusiastic. As an actress, she is a member of staff and very knowledgeable about the theatre. We so beautifully crafted costumes backstage and gave the chance to see behind the scenes, truly. The Bridge of Aspiration is a must-see but is usually not accessible to the public. The guided tour is a perfect opportunity to learn more about the exciting theatre. 🎭 Understandably, we were not permitted to take any photographs of the stage and backstage due to copyright restrictions.

I booked the tickets back in January or February. For £25.00 I got to see 3, wonderful modern ballets, one of which was a premier! The seats are very high up, the sight lines are excellent. You are quite some distance from the stage, but you could take binoculars ( I forgot). The dance programme was wonderful, all the staff I came into contact with were charming & very helpful. All in all a fantastic evening out.
