Opera House · City of Westminster · 139 tips and reviews
Style by Stylism: 'Swan Lake' another ballet to watch. Although can pretty much be enjoyed any season. But its better to watch it around winter as you get the warm fuzzy christmas feeling inside.
Faith Spino: Beautiful! If you are a ballet dancer, you will appreciate the home of the Royal Ballet! Come even just to see it and take a photo!
Leach E. E.: Some amazing singers and productions for the operas although pricey and some productions sell out fast. Also stages ballet if you're into that kind of thing.
Style by Stylism: Catch 'The Nutcraker' ballet. Very moving, and very traditional.
Martin Tiedemann: 14 December: Watch The Nutcracker. The English National Ballet has been staging productions of The Nutcracker for more than 60 years, and continues to do so annually, the company's most popular show.
Brian O: Saw swan lake and it was so amazing!! Never been to the ballet and this was a real great experience. Didn't think I would enjoy the ballet but this was breathtaking.

Asgeir: Cleopatra by Northern Ballet is a must see, fantastic! Read more.
Simran Mohan: As newbies to dance we were extremely disappointed to find the swans in Matthew Bournes Swan Lake were all male - they therefore lacked the elegance we associated with the swans. Also NOT ballet
Gareth Mellor: Lovely theatre, close to the tube and good pubs

Emmanuel X: Mesmerising mix of modern ballet, comedy, acrobatics and live music
Very Good Service: Another of our favourite concert venue in London. A beautiful architecture and acoustic for a concert hall, right in the centre of London
HISTORY UK: The acoustics here were once so bad, it was said this was the only venue where a composer could be sure of hearing his work twice. It was corrected in 1969 by putting diffusing discs on the ceiling.

Ina Glika: Lest We Forget - English National Ballet - excellent performance!
Charlotte Maguier: Delicious food and reasonable prices in the food hall (ground floor). Worth a visit if you're looking for a nice lunch in the area!
Time Out London: It might look like it was built in 1920s Uzbekistan (then turned inside out) but, believe it or not, the Barbican is about to celebrate its thirtieth birthday. Read more.
