 If you are in the area of Bow Street in London, UK, you need to check out the Royal Opera House. The stunning architecture and many things to do inside will leave you breathless. Find out all about the different things to do.

The Opera House

After this building got refurbished, it was considered the top opera house in the world. It is constantly trying to bring in new people who otherwise would not have visited the Opera. In 2008 there was a performance by Don Giovanni. Not only does this house feature many great opera singers, it is also a place where the best ballet performers act. It shares it's home with The Royal Ballet. There is even a sculpture called the Globe Head Ballerina. Her artist is Yinka Shonibare and it looks magnificent. It is a life-size model of a ballerina in a giant snow globe. She even rotates slowly to entertain the public. You can see this great piece of art on the side of the building that is facing Russell Street. It will call that spot it's home for five years.

La Bayadere

This is a royal ballet about love, jealousy, and drug-use. It showcases the wonderful temple dancer Nikiya and she battles it out with Gamzatti over Solor. Solor is a warrior whom each girl is after. This play performs from May 13 to May 22. In the late 19th century, this play was dated from. It really tells some great stories about how the east was rare and fancy. It is a wonderful act and you really owe it to yourself to attend it. The tickets are very affordable as well and you can find pricing on various popular ticket sites.

Tosca

This opera is all about emotions, dark assignments, and two-faced people that fight until there is tragedy. It is truly what the opera is all about. It combines wonderful acting and singing all in one. Tosca's real name is Floria. She is a singer. She really gets jealous from time to time and that is where she finds herself in trouble. Without that, you really would not have a good opera, right. Her lover Mario is suspected of cheating on her. You will see a lot of back and forth going on in the play, but it is wonderfully done.

La rondine

This opera is Italian and dates back to the 1920's era. It showcases Paris where there are wonderfully exquisite scenes and harmonies taking place. It stars Angela Gheorghiu and Ermonela Joha, who plays Magda de Chivry, and eventually gives up her soon to be husband, so that his family will keep their honor. If you have ever been in a similar situation, you really need to check out this play. It might be a little dramatic though, but it might not be that much different from what you experienced. Check it out if you are in the area of Bow Street. You will enjoy it a lot.

In conclusion, the Royal Opera House really knows what it is doing with all of these marvelous plays and ballets. You will really get more than you pay for if you attend one of these. It is a wonderful way to relax and even escape the warm summer heat.
