London theatre dress code

That goes for London in general. Londoners are not once to take
offence at lousy dress. There are too many antipodeans there that have
already lowered the tone.

Doesn't Harrod's still turn away those would-be customers it considers
improperly dressed?

allegedly they don't allow torn jeans, I shop there in jeans and
tee shirt, which is hardly dressed up.

opera performances are sometimes more formal.

Covent Garden more so than ENO.

"You can't do the food shopping at Harrods!"

"Of course you can! You don't expect people in Knightsbridge to eat out
_all_ the time!"

Yes, but I've worn a t-shirt (but no shorts or hiking boots!) at Covent
Garden too. As pointed out, it does get warm in opera houses. It seems
to me to be the most sensible dress, even if some strange posters think
it ruins the 'mood' or the 'groove' or whatever it is it's meant to
ruin.

It would need to be warm, naked from the waist down. Actually I
saw a production by Opera Factory in which the singers were all
nude.

We spent an afternoon there once and came to the conclusion that in
general that it was for people with more money than sense.

there are some things worth buying, the cheese is one. If they
have something you cant find elsewhere, then maybe pay the price.
I tend to prefer Harvey Nicks, Selfridges, a good Waitrose or
Borough Market.

The Rheinmaidens were nude in a recent Covent Garden production of Das
Rheingold, and Salome has been nude there before.
