I watched The Rocky Horror Show this weekend and it was absolutely fantastic. Lovely building, and a really great show. My only gripe was that there was no photography allowed, (until the end of the show anyway). I think that this should be clearly stated on a sign for example to prevent embarrassment, as the steward was aggressively flashing his light to shine attention on me when I tried to take a clip on my phone to share this great experience with family and friends. I was not the only person who had an issue with this... Please be clear about your policy on filming/photography for people.

I watched Hansel ant Gretel last week. It was my first opera experience and it was very nice.
