How does the Royal Opera House cope at Christmas? 12 Bohèmes, 15 Hansel and Gretels and 24 Nutcrackers? Sarah Lenton’s first-hand account takes us into the wings, into the dressing rooms, up in the flys and onto the stage. Using clips, photos and interviews, we’ll enjoy a virtual reality trip around the theatre as the festive season swings into action. Sarah lifts the curtain on how everyone works together to make sure that those in the spotlight can give a world class performance.
