Bloody hell, Death in Venice at the Royal Opera House is good. And I mean REALLY good. One of the best things I've ever seen kind of good.#ROHvenice

Left speechless by #ROHvenice - deeply moving singing, dancing and playing of this amazing score. The ending was perfect - etched on my memory

Just seen #ROHvenice - very, very good. Mark Padmore is superb. Captures the philosophical core of Thomas Mann’s novella.
