The Royal Opera House in London is starting it's first sale of costumes outside of the Opera. Costumes have been sold before, but never took place outside of the Opera.
The costumes are being sold to make name for the Royal Opera House and to clear space for new costumes. Head of the company's costume workroom, Mal Barton, says the decision to sell the costumes somewhere else made a lot of sense, as a football pitch-sized warehouse in Aberdare was the perfect location to do so.
Costumes wore by famous people will surely be sold, as there are a lot of people who love the opera. Prizes will range between 20 pounds and 500 pounds, making costumes available for everyone interested.

To me, it seems like a rather great idea selling costumes wore by singers and ballet dancers. Seeing an opera or a ballet, I can imagine people become big fans of certain acts. By making the costumes available for sale, fans and collectors are given the opportunity to buy pieces they admire. Furthermore, the prizes seem fairly reasonable, especially as some of the costumes are one of a kind pieces.
Reading several articles on the website of The Guardian, I did notice the simple writing, to be quite frank. Although I am not a native, and do not know as much about British newspapers as the natives do, I have to admit I find the articles in The Guardian of low quality.
On the other hand, the guardian has an arts correspondent, which should give a deeper look into art-related news. I hope to read more articles from different newspapers to find out which newspapers are of better quality than others.
