Advantages: Beautifully produced, top quality singing Disadvantages: None
As an aspiring opera singer I am keen to get to see as much opera as I possibly can and to get the best experience I can for the least amount of money possible! The RoyalOperaHouse is almost certainly the most well known operahouse in Britain and I look forward to every production I see there, knowing that it will be a real treat for the ears and the eyes!
- Booking tickets -
First things first, how to book tickets.

HISTORY OF THE HOUSE
The RoyalOperaHouse is situated in London's Covent Garden it first opened it's doors in December 1732. This site has been the home of three differnent theatres. the first was mainly a playhouse. The first serious music to be performed here were operas by Handel who played here from 1735 to his death in 1759. He left his organ to the theatre when he died but sadly this was destroyed by a fire in 1808. Is that not a tragedy?
The theatre was then rebuilt and it opened it's doors in 1809 again it was not just for the performances of Ballet and Opera, the exclusive rights ...
Recorded on Sunday, 16 December 2001, this eclectic performance was the first pop/rock show to take place at London's esteemed Royal Opera House.
