Royal Opera House “Covent Garden”

The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden is one of the most famous and luxurious theaters in London and the whole of Great Britain. It is the home stage for the Royal Opera and the Royal Ballet— the UK's largest ballet company. The Queen herself patronizes the Royal Ballet, and its president is the Prince of Wales.

familiar not only to art fans. The English playwright is often called a genius of

literature and theater, because his works are s t i l l re l e v a n t a n d i n c lud ed i n th e m a i n

repertoire of most theaters in the world.

During Shakespeare's lifetime, many of his plays were staged on the stage of the Globe

Theater. Today, fans of the great playwright can v isi t a c op y o f th i s f a m ou s th ea t e r . T h e

Chapter 2. Music festivals of Great Britain

Glastonbury festival

Despite the fact that Glastonbury was far from the first music festival in the UK, now it can be confidently called the most famous, in its first year it gathered only 1.5

thousand people.Over the years, Glastonbury has

become bigger and more famous, but has managed to maintain its inimitable atmosphere of free love and mixing of cultures.

Isle of Wight festival

''Isle of Wight'' initially it was a small event, but in 1970 it was able to gather a huge crowd of people. After that,

the British government even banned the festival for a while,

worried that a huge number of people and parties would pollute the island.The festival was resumed in 2002 in another part of the island . It is still considered one of the best and largest British festivals. Despite the fact that

the festival now has a different ideology, its management still

supports local charities, raising funds for them and auctioning free tickets.

Secret Garden Party festival

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I would like to say that thanks to the rich imperial past, the culture of Great Britain does not just affect the whole world — it is part of it. Theaters and music festivals originate in the distant past, have undergone many changes, have been subjected to devastation and reconstruction, but have never lost its cultural significance. Thanks to the UK theaters and music festivals the world cultural process has been enriched.Theatrical and musical art gives a person, first of all, development and striving for perfection in working on himself, his weaknesses and habits. Even the scientific approach to the interpretation of the concept of culture proceeds primarily from the fact that culture is an infinite number of brilliant creations of the human spirit and talent, reflected primarily in the highest spiritual values formulated by man. Theatrical and musical art incorporates various arts that perfectly complement themselves. That’s why despite the modern world of technology, theaters and music festivals are still in great demand among people from all over the world and are true historical and cultural treasures of Great Britain.
