You visit the website, but are number 1074 in the queue to enter it! What am I talking about? Giuseppe Verdi's Aida . On at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden from 11 March - 15 April. Here's a little preview, thanks to The Royal Opera House (13 May 2010, Radio 3 excerpt) - Act I, Radames sings to himself before going off to war. If, like me, you don't speak Italian, click here so you don't have to rush to read the programme before the lights go down. Enjoy, Lucky
