The Royal Ballet: Manon at the Ritz Penzance
The Royal Ballet's production of Manon comes to the Ritz Penzance as part of the Royal Ballet and Opera's cinema broadcast series. Based on the Abbé Prévost novel, Kenneth MacMillan's ballet follows the young Manon Lescaut through a story of passion, wealth, and ruin, set to Massenet's lush score. Screened live from the Royal Opera House in London, these cinema broadcasts bring full-scale professional ballet to audiences across Cornwall who might not otherwise make the trip to Covent Garden. An evening dress code is not required — just arrive at the Ritz on Penzance's main street and settle in for a full-length performance with interval.
