To ask for your opera recommendations?

[lawanddisorder]

Got a big birthday coming up and I want to see an opera. I’m toying with the idea of seeing something at (eg) the royal opera house, but it is sooo expensive. So should I start with something cheaper? Or should I start with something world class and necessarily expensive?

I have never seen an opera before! I just fancy it

@lawanddisorder if this is within your budget, it will be an amazing first opera experience:

Don't rule out the restricted view seats, I’ve had some described that way which were barely restricted at all. And the ROH website will show you what the view looks like from your seat too which is great - no surprises.

Seats under £100 for Monday 20th. God, I miss London!
