Review of Royal Opera House

The building is wonderful, the location excellent ...

The building is wonderful, the location excellent and the staff are helpful. Of course, if you're going to the ROH you are likely going to see something, ballet or opera, and it is unlikely to disappoint. There are a wide range of pricing options, though you will pay over a hundred pounds for what are considered 'better' seats. The crush bar is a good place to duck to at the interval, though service can be a little slow, and this disappoints given the context and you've not got long to drink your champers. You can see ballet cheaper elsewhere, but the experience of seeing it live in this setting is worth the money. And that is setting aside that the royal ballet delivers stunning, striking performances. Well worth a visit.
