Royal Opera House: Carmen
The Ritz Penzance screens Carmen as part of the Royal Opera House's 2026-27 relay season, bringing a cinema broadcast of the London production to Penzance on Tuesday 10 November at 7pm. Bizet's Carmen is a story of passion, jealousy and freedom, set to music that moves from brooding undercurrents to bold, sweeping arias. The relay format puts the audience close to the action in a way a theatre visit rarely allows, with cameras following the performance from the Royal Opera House stage. Whether you're a regular operagoer or coming to it fresh, an evening at the Ritz is a good way to experience a full-scale opera production without travelling far from home.
