I was lucky enough to be able to attend what was probably one of the last performances before the lockdown in March. My boyfriend and I went to "Swan Lake" with Natalia Osipova and it was marvelous!

Please do not choose seats in the middle of the auditorium! Sit not he side, the last row! The acoustics are always superb, and most ballets are traditional (for modern or contemporary you can go to Sadler's Wells). So are operas. We love them all. Join the ROH as a Friend and you will get a small window ahead of the public for the previous tickets. Arrive 30 minutes before so you can relax and enjoy the scenery - including people watching. Some weirdos (peculiar fashion) here or there, but generally plebe are well dressed. Not over the top. But nicely fitted out. Have the house rose wine for about £5.50 instead of the ridiculously priced champagne - £15! People are mad but I suppose it is an occasion. I give them that indulgence. Order your drinks for the interval so you don't have to break your Louboutins to get to the front of the queue. …
