Lonely Planet review

Acccused of being stuffy and exclusive a few years back, the Royal Opera House is now attracting a younger, wealthy audience. Its around £210 million redevelopment in 2000 has given the classic a fantastic setting, and coming here for a night is a sumptuous prospect. The renovated Floral Hall is now open to the public during the day, with free lunchtime concerts at on Monday, exhibitions and daily tours.

If you're a student, you can register your details on the ROH website, and join the Travelex discount scheme which offers discounted tickets (around £15 Opera, around £12 ballet), but only if the performance isn't selling very well. This, apparently, doesn't happen very often, but it might be worth trying.
