  1. Don’t park in Great Northern ! Opera House web site states £7.00 for 6 hours went to Bat Out of Hell last night, wouldn’t validate my ticket before show said “couldn’t accept Great Northern car parking” got stung £18.00 for car parking!

  2. I went to see Guys and Dolls at the Opera House a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing. I think that Ben Richards was the best.
