See Covent Garden's Carmen for cheap with the Sun - how to apply

 "Do you think opera means lots of fat birds in Viking helmets and lardy blokes screeching like banshees? And that a tenor is the only change you would get from a couple of hundred quid if you were daft enough to buy tickets?"

Perchance you have been reading the Sun then.

Even if not, you can apply for cut-price tickets to the Royal Opera House's Carmen on 3 October, courtesy of the previously-announced promotion.

Applications should be made here or here. You will then be entered into a ballot for the opportunity to apply for up to 4 tickets at £7.50 to £30 each.
