1.8 million views of Lion King
| |
The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre continues to be one of the most popular productions in the West End and the London Opera Glass has been part of the fun since opening night.
It is estimated that over 1.8 million theatre-goers have used the London Opera Glasses to enjoy Lion King since the show opened at the Lyceum in October 1999. 
Following some audience feedback, additional opera glass dispensers have now been installed in the Grand Circle so that patrons no longer have to share one glass between two in the traditional way.
The early results have been very successful and usage has increased to record levels in the auditorium over recent weeks.

An authentic London Opera Glass- the perfect theatrical gift
| |
In addition to the sixty host theatres across the UK who have London opera glass dispensers installed in their auditoriums, more and more venues are also offering printed and customised opera glasses in their gift shops and foyers. In recent weeks both the Royal Albert Hall and English National Opera have placed orders for authentic London Opera Glasses that will go on sale to visitors and patrons at these two highly prestigious London venues for the performing arts. Both sets of specially commissioned opera glasses are sure to become highly sought after collector's items and will only be available for sale through those venue's official retail outlets.
