Royal Opera House

The Royal Opera House is truly one of London’s cultural treasures. The building itself is breathtaking — both historic and modern at the same time — and the atmosphere makes every visit feel special. The performances are world-class, whether opera, ballet, or orchestral, with an artistry and precision that leave you in awe. What makes the experience even more remarkable is the attention to detail: from the acoustics and stage design to the warm and professional staff who ensure everything runs smoothly. Even just enjoying a drink or a view from the terraces is a pleasure, with Covent Garden buzzing just outside. An unforgettable experience that combines beauty, history, and excellence in performance. A must-visit for anyone in London who loves the arts.

The ROH is our most-preferred opera house for several reasons. First and foremost, it is a beautiful place, with many well-made shows. My wife and I attended a good number of ballet productions and operas, and the ROH seldom disappoints. Then, then ROH is not only an opera house, but has restaurants and a big shop attached to it. So basically you can enter early, and get settled with a glass of Champagne plus buy a gift to take home. Moreover, the boxes are spacious and our most-preferred ticket category. The ROH makes you book an entire box (=4 tickets), so either you come with friends/ family or you have extra room. One big plus: It is possible to cancel tickets (for a small fee) and keep in money in your ROH account for a later purchase. Try doing this elsewhere... What's not to like... not much really... Yes, good tickets are not exactly cheap (but there are good alternatives further from the stage, and other places are even more expensive, see Salzburg, AT). Also, the shop is a little bit stuffed with stuff (but nobody's forced to buy it, so you cannot really be mad about it). Security personnel will check your bags when entering the building (which is a reflection of the overall situation in London, UK, and therefore not related to the ROH as such).

My review comes more from an architectural perspective, and I have to say this neoclassical building is truly a work of art. The Royal Ballet and Opera House immediately draw your attention from the street, and stepping inside is a treat in itself. The entrance is free, and you can explore what was once the flower market, now transformed into a beautiful bar, while admiring the stunning details of the iron and glass structure. The blend of history, design, and function makes it an unforgettable space. If you appreciate architecture, this is absolutely a must visit in London.

What can one say about the Royal Opera House in London? Everything is at a high level, unfortunately the prices are also fair of course. The building is a mix of classic and modern, access from the Underground station Covent Garden on the Piccadilly Line

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 though you don’t get drunk. 😋
