Royal Opera House

Fodor's Review:

Original-language productions are presented in this extravagant theater, also home to the Royal Ballet. Tickets range in price from £4 to £190. It may be worth showing up on the morning of a performance to purchase a same-day seat, of which 67 are offered. The box office opens at 10 AM, but queues for popular productions can start as early as 7 AM and unsold tickets are offered at half price four hours before a performance. There are free lunchtime recitals most Mondays in the Linbury Studio Theatre or the Crush Room (book tickets in advance), and three summer concerts are broadcast live to a large screen in Covent Garden Piazza.
