Opera in the open air. Recommend taking a picnic to Holland Park before the generally 1930 start. Experimental sets and often obscure choices but always fun. Audience on the aged side!

Artistic standards are as good as or better than anything you'd find in pricey London opera houses. Good set designers make you forget the limitations of the shallow stage. Unforgettable performances and evenings. Catering is the only slight disappointment
The perfect setting and the most amazing cast. Just, wow!
Un Ballo in Machera was great. Attentive staff and friendly atmosphere
Amazing park with beautiful views. One of the experiences that I will never forget. The peacock were magnificent to look at and they take you breath away when you watch them opening their feathers.
Exceptional venue, Opera in a tent.. but what a tent. Stage, lighting and cast up to West end standards but with a much cosier feel. No sitting in the Gods here. Huge orchestra pit, occupied by excellent artists, that you can see from almost all seats. Staff very professional and welcoming. Definitely worth a visit.
Opera Holland Park - Elegant marquee auditorium for open-air opera performances, with picnic areas, mezzanine, terrace.
An ok production but not more but then the tickets don't cost the earth either. The two main singers were excellent. If you are going, take a blanket and warm clothes as it's always cold even in the summer!
Yes, it might have been one of the warmest days in the UK ever, but what could be better than spending it in Holland park having cold drinks and listening to Verdi. The staging of the masked ball was great as was the singing. Unfortunately, the cheap tickets have been sold out for the season, but do make sure you get them in time for next year's operas.
All the better for being a lesser- known piece . Very pretty with music to match
Beautiful sung. Exceptionally talented leads and directed with just enough humour to keep it light enough for the varied audience. A wonderful evening out for all.
