MORE than 3,000 opera fans descended on Trent Bridge on Tuesday evening to see a live screening from the Royal Opera House.
Opera fans were invited to picnic on the outfield while many chose to take in the view from the stands.
The event was free to attend and designed to showcase Trent Bridge for a new audience.
The performance of La Bohème was broadcast on outdoor screens across the UK with more than 6,000 gathering in Trafalgar Square.
Justin Tose, Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club's commercial director, said: "We're keen to explore new events that are in keeping with the refinement of Trent Bridge and our partnership with the Royal Opera House fits the bill perfectly."
