Everyone looks so elegant and classy. I’ve seen stills of this event, and now I know where they are from. Margaret in the Halo tiara and you can only imagine how beautiful her dress was, in color. And the Oriental Circlet, with the Burmese Ruby suite, on the Queen Mum. And of course the Queen, Looking stunning.

Everyone is making their entrance and some in some grand manners, but the Queen enters very humbly, no sophisticated dress, a simple ermine cape, and tiara; so young, yet she is THE GUEST.

According to Britten's biographer Christopher Headington, the premiere of Gloriana was almost a failure. Few audience applauded at the final curtain, and Britten leaned over from the box, muttering "Clap, damn you, clap."

I doubt politicians or royalty would be made to sit through an opera performance these days. I wonder what opera it was.

Not that far back UK Prime Minister John Major and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl would gladly have been at the opera as would Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani, LA DA Gil Garcetti. US Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia have been known to attend opera performances together.

Amid all this splendour the UK was still on rationing. It finally ended in 1954. Forgive me if I find this display of wealth and privilege a little irksome. Rationing was still in place a whole 9 years after the end of WWII !

@joed1162 not all rationing was in place till 1954, some rationing ended sooner and rationing was for all the population and life started getting back to normal here in Britain as soon as possible after the war, not all events were for the wealthy, the ideal home exhibitions began again in 1947 and the festival of britain took place in 1951 and there were others

This may well have been the first opera that the Queen had been to, and probably gave her her known dislike of opera. Indeed, 'Gloriana' was the first opera that I ever went to (no, it wasn't this performance!) and it left me cold, a chill that it took Rita Hunter singing Brünnhilde to defrost - and now I am completely sold on opera!
