A delightful visit to see backstage at Covent garden. We watched dancers rehearsing new ballets and singers practising act 2 of Peter Grimes( not allowed to take a picture of either) plus a visit to the workshop where they were making garlands and a horse for La fille mal gardee and a chance to compare the featherweight of a tutu with the bulky costume for Gloriana. After lunch in the 2018 foyer a group went to the Transport museum.
