One of the most hotly-anticipated arts events of 2014, Terry Gilliam's production of Benvenuto Cellini for English National Opera opened at the London Coliseum last night.
A host of stars from the worlds of stage, screen and sport watched the press night performance of Benvenuto Cellini - which received a standing ovation - before attending the after-show party in the Sky Bar of the iconic London Coliseum, St Martin's Lane, home of English National Opera.
