Good start to 2015/16 opera season with delightful #ROHorphee, fine performance from Florez & nice balance of opera/dance in the production.

Preferred 1st half production but 2nd half musically. Dancing grew a bit tired (at least, I grew tired of it) but those duets....#ROHOrphee

Excellent #ROHorphee. It takes a lot to overshadow JDF. The dancing, central orchestra and choir were the true stars of the production.

Whilst elements of the design and lighting were spectacular, the placing of the orchestra was problematic for me... #ROHOrphee

No idea what to expect at #ROHOrphée but really enjoyed myself: ravishing score sung & played beautifully by an upwardly-mobile @mco_london!

Where to start with the dancing? Echoes of Morris, Cunningham and Graham - but still inimitably @HofeshCo #ROHorphee #hofest

Beautiful #ROHorphee @RoyalOperaHouse : inspired playing and a sober, elegant production. Orphée is now one of my favourite operas.
