Thank you to everyone who came along to last night’s BP Big Screening of Manon. It was a superb night: wonderful performances, beautiful weather and lovely crowds (over 6,000 in Trafalgar Square.)

Don’t forget, if you enjoyed last night, please come back for Madam Butterfly on 4 July and Cinderella on 13 July.

EowinKenobi Nerea Fernández  @RoyalOperaHouse BEST BALLET EVER. (I didn’t even need 140 characters).

JudithFlanders Wow. @RoyalOperaHouse ‘s Ricardo Cervera so wonderful as Lescsaut, maybe he won’t have to die in Act 2. #alternativeworldmanon

JudithFlanders Serious question: is @RoyalOperaHouse ‘s Alina Cojocaru the greatest dancer I’ve ever seen? #verypossibly
