The Royal Opera House, London by David Richardson

A plein air pencil, ink and watercolour painting.
   I drew this a couple of years ago for a book I was creating.
   The Royal Opera House stands on Bow Street in Covent Garden and is the home of the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet. The present building opened in 1858, following two earlier theatres that were destroyed by fire in 1808 and 1856.
   Its stage has welcomed legendary ballet dancers such as Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, as well as celebrated opera singers including Luciano Pavarotti and Joan Sutherland.

The building has also featured as a filming location for The Theory of Everything.
