Between February 23rd and March 11th you can see Aida from Verdi in the Royal Albert Hall in London. The stage will be in the middle of the venue, making the spectators surround the stage from all angles. The play will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra so the music will for sure give the right atmosphere as you follow the tragic tale of an Ethiopian slave girl, Aida, who is caught in a love triangle with the King’s daughter, Amneris, and Captain of the Guard, Radames.

If you would like to get to know the history of Britain in a different way, then you better head over to the Garrick Theatre between February 14th and September 1st in 2012. On display is the history of Britain in this theater piece named Barmy Britain. The performance has earlier been on display in Birmingham, and not it is finally coming to London.
The official description of Barmy Britain from their webpage is as follows:
We all want to meet people from history. The trouble is everyone is dead! So it’s time to prepare yourselves for HORRIBLE HISTORIES live on stage with the world premiere of BARMY BRITAIN!
Have you ever wondered why the Romans never won MasterChef? What if a Viking moved in next door? Would you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry? Will Parliament escape gunpowder Guy? Enrol yourself at Georgian Crime School, dare to dance the Tyburn jig and find out what a baby farmer did!
Set in loathsome London, the BSC proudly present the world premiere of BARMY BRITAIN following their acclaimed productions of Terrible Tudors, Vile Victorians, Awful Egyptians and Ruthless Romans. Don’t miss this horrible history of Britain with the nasty bits left in!

Enjoy a one month celebration in the Kew Gardens of orchids and exotic plants. Kew boasts one of the oldest and most comprehensive orchid collections in the world. In this exhibition you can come visit the home to hundreds of brightly coloured orchids. A hot, steamy zone features tropical varieties with showy flowers, and a cooler zone contains species from tropical mountainous regions. What makes it even more special is that the Tropical Extravaganza sees hundreds more amazing orchids added throughout the conservatory. This year’s display has a “Forces of Nature” theme, reflecting the four classical elements: air, fire, water and earth.
