SeatChoice.com finds that there are Opera tickets to suit all budgets.
London, UK, June 10, 2011 -- Opera has long held a reputation of being entertainment for the privileged few. However, research by leading theatre tickets comparison website SeatChoice.com has found that whilst Tickets for ‘Tosca’, at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, top their ticket price league table with a maximum face value of £219.50, standing tickets for ‘Don Giovanni’ at the Soho Theatre are available for just £10.00 for under 26’s.
Tosca, at the Royal Opera House from the 7th of June to the 17th of July, has tickets available through agents priced from £41.90 in the amphitheatre rising to £219.50 in the stalls. On the Royal Opera House web site there are also tickets up to £918 in the Grand Tier but day tickets and standby tickets can be much cheaper if you're lucky enough to find them.
‘Don Giovanni’ at the Soho Theatre from the 11th of August to the 17th of September, has tickets priced from £10.00 for under 26’s willing to stand rising to a maximum of £29.50 for a Friday or Saturday evening performance. The Soho Theatre is a small and intimate venue seating a maximum of 160 people on cushioned high rake benches and all seating is unreserved. Performances at The King’s Head, ‘London’s Little Opera House’, are £17.50.
SeatChoice.com founder Robert Iles said: “Opera does have a reputation for being expensive and with some tickets at Covent Garden costing over £900 each it’s easy to see why. However, new opera companies such as OperaUpClose are putting on productions in smaller, more intimate venues and hoping to attract more diverse audiences with very affordable ticket prices. Opera North and the Welsh National Opera also bring high quality productions to the regions at a very reasonable prices. With tickets to productions like Don Giovanni in London now being some of the cheapest available, opera may soon be able to shake off its elitist image.”
