La traviata - Royal Ballet and Opera tickets

I had been really looking forward to this performance and bought the tickets well in advance. Unfortunately, it did not meet expectations. The ticket prices were significantly higher compared to theatre or musicals, but the overall experience did not justify the cost. We attended at the end of winter and had to keep all our coats, jackets, and belongings with us at our seats, as did many others, which made the space feel extremely cramped. The seats themselves were also very narrow, and the venue was uncomfortably hot, making the whole experience quite inconvenient. As for the performance itself, the first and third acts felt rather slow and stretched out, with minimal scenery and costumes that were not particularly impressive. The second act was much livelier and more engaging, and the audience seemed to respond far better to it than to the other two acts. Overall, the sound was not powerful enough and lacked the rich operatic presence I was expecting. It felt quiet, and combined with the noise in the auditorium, it was difficult to fully enjoy the performance. I have seen La Traviata in other countries, and unfortunately this production by the London company was my least favourite
