It was my first time seeing the revival of David McVicar’s production – I arrived at Covent Garden a little bit early for the 7.30pm start and wandered into this lovely lady busking Bizet.

The house of doom.

…and the curtain call.

A more comprehensive review by Intermezzo here – anyone mentioned an orgy opening scene?

Thanks to my lovely friend’s complementary tickets, Mr Smarty-Pants and I didn’t have to queue to get in. More queuing, however, was in order just to have a close look at the paintings – mind you, they even sell the Rough Guide to Yorkshire in the gift shop…
