Operatic stories are picturesque. Filled with raw emotion and exceptional performances, the experience of watching London operas live is compelling and unforgettable.

London opera - and all operas in general - is characterised by dramatic music that produces climactic moments by building up the emotional tension. London opera also depicts melodrama, often portraying stories of hate, jealousy, eternal love, violence, and death. Opera's most significant moments are an accurate representation of humanity's many topics: anger, joy, love, life and death. Opera also puts heavy emphasis on the usage of human voice as the best mode to convey human emotion, making each and every performance truly unique and breathtaking.
