A
London Coliseum
The Coliseum is home to the English National Opera (ENO), celebrated for making opera modern and relevant; all operas here are sung in English. After several years in the wasteland, the ENO has been receiving better reviews and welcoming much bigger audiences since the arrival of music director Edward Gardner. The building, built in 1904 and lovingly restored 100 years later, is very impressive. Five hundred £10-and-under tickets are available for all weekday performances.

Korn/Ferry Opera Holland Park
This is Ye Olde Englande, with picnics on the grass, opera on stage and frightfully posh surroundings. Sit under the 800-seat canopy, which is temporarily erected every summer for a nine-week season in the middle of Holland Park, and enjoy the fabulous setting and good performances. The program mixes crowd pleasers like Verdi and Humperdinck with rare (even obscure) works and attracts a diverse audience.
