Take a look below at the photographs, reviews and audience reactions that have been flooding in throughout the run.

The performance is flawless... The music is immaculately played by a chamber ensemble of the London Sinfonietta enhanced with electronics and conducted by Geoffrey Paterson, " The Telegraph
Spectacularly staged... strikingly atmospheric " The Times
The music is transparent, brazenly beautiful and much use is made of the Sinfonietta’s players as soloists, weaving elaborate individual lines alongside the vocalists. The Guardian
Congratulations @Ldn_Sinfonietta on a fine achievement with Cave by @tansydavies and @nickfdrake with @RoyalOperaHouse. Stunning sound world, visually striking and excellent performances.
