History
During the interval (20:20-20:50) ‘Curtain Up’ was presented. Each year the Royal Opera House invites members of the public to stage an operatic scene from scratch in one weekend. Piers Burton-Page joins the Chorus for ‘Curtain Up’ (the banqueting scene from Macbeth) to find out how it’s done.
