This is the inside of the Royal Opera House just before the performance of Nutcracker - the ultimate Christmas ballet by Tchaikovsky. ROH is a very special place, one of the best opera houses in the world, with the unique touch of being, well, royal. From Queen's head watching you from just above the stage and the opulent interior to the royal crests emblazoned on the red velvet curtain you know that this is a place with years of tradition and not unlike Buckingham Palace.
The second photo is taken from the roof terrace of RHO overlooking the Covent Garden Piazza. London can be a tad grey and forlorn during winter months but seeing it this way lit up with the carousel banging out an old Italian tune makes you see another side of it.
