Although I have seen several productions live at the cinema, I haven’t been physically back to The Royal Opera House since I went with my husband over three years ago now.
I thought it was about time to return.
Last night, on my break, I trolled the internet and found two reasonable tickets for the acclaimed ballet production of Romeo and Juliet , showing in February and bought them quick sticks.
The auditorium of the Opera House is a breathtaking over indulgence in gold and red.
Shaded lights cram the balconies and boxes and when full over 2,200 people share the view the place seems to glow in a golden light…it’s a view I have never tired of over the years.
Who is the lucky recipient of the second ticket? xx
ReplyDeleteThat's a bit nosey!
DeleteNu xx
DeleteYou'll both have a wonderful time. xx
DeleteSomething lovely to look forward to :) x
ReplyDeleteAn evening enjoying opera will be fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBallet xx
DeleteIf you don't treat yourself to the nice things in life ... who will???
ReplyDeleteI think you are marvelous at finding ways to enjoy life and also do nice things for those around you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious place to go and a wonderful ballet to see - made all the better by having Nu next to you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the anticipation!!
Hugs!
Good on you John I strongly believe in things to look forward to the ballet sounds wonderful. Covid has stopped a lot of indoor activities for me but better days ahead.
ReplyDeleteA long time to wait, but it'll be worth it. Who will accompany you?
ReplyDeleteOoooh! I am so envious. What a wonderful treat to look forward to. And a catch up with Nu is a treat in itself for you. February will still be bleak winter in Wales, so it will be particularly wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous venue!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe I have ever been. Must remedy that one of these days!
ReplyDeleteFor me, just walking into a theatre like that makes the ticket price worthwhile.
ReplyDeleteI often hear Romeo and Juliet on the radio-it's beautiful x
ReplyDeleteWow, what fun. Something to look forward to this winter. Also, how lucky is Nu?!
ReplyDeleteShe’s treated me to a ticket to see the revival of cabaret with Eddie Redmayne
DeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, John! It is nice that you take the time to treat yourself (and a friend).
ReplyDeleteWhat a glamorous venue!
Beautiful ... something to look forward to in the depths of a wintry February.
ReplyDeleteLucky lucky you John! It is many years since I went and I remember it as though it was yeterday
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat for you to look forward to. Just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteFlat out fun and excitement.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful space. Thank you for sharing.
