For example, one group will go to the

We first shook hands at the
Crush Bar, in the Royal Opera House, London 1950.
The Philharmonic Hall's first floor
crush bar (1939) is one of Britain's great art deco rooms, like being on a glamorous pre-war transatlantic liner, such as the Ile de France.
There is a
crush bar for 50 people on the first floor and a BBC club house also provides lunch in a more pub-like atmosphere, but the canteen on the seventh floor, with more than 100 seats and a choice of hot and cold meals and stodgy puddings, is where most of the eating takes place.
In tonight's fly-on-the-wall documentary, there is a rift between two barmen at the House's
Crush Bar. They might have worked together for 30 years, but they're not exactly what you'd call work-MATES.

The chairman of trustees, Sir Colin Southgate calls the new Opera House "the most technically advanced theater in the world." Indeed the physical improvements are stunning: a huge glass atrium where one can mingle before performances and during intermissions; the cosy, aptly named
Crush Bar area; the auditorium that has been carefully and lovingly restored by David Mlinaric, still clad in its magnificent red and gold but now boasting air-conditioning, newly covered seats and lights, a raked floor in the stalls, clearer sight lines, and excellent acoustics; a new studio theater--the Linbury Theatre--which is to be used for a range of educational performances, chamber concerts, lectures, master classes, and rehearsals as well as a venue for staging new works.
Pressure on the famous
Crush Bar adjoining the dress circle should be eased.
