This evening The Prince pushed The Duchess’s wheelchair into the Royal Opera House as they arrived for the first night of Aida.
Aida is one of the highlights of the Royal Opera’s 2009/2010 season and is directed by David McVicar.
It will be the first time the production has been performed since 2003 at the Royal Opera House.
The opera stars Italian soprano Micaela Carosi in the title role.
The proceeds for the evening will go to the Royal Opera House Foundation to enable The Royal Opera House to train the next generation of artists.
