Manon - at the premiere!

£5 for a ticket to see Manon (as a ballet not opera) at the Royal Opera House. View was restricted, but at least I had a seat - no idea how others manage to stand through a 2h45 minutes performance...

As noted on my first visit to the Royal Opera - the building itself is absolutely stunning! And I again enjoyed the show. Having said that, I was struggling a bit with taking in both the music AND the dancing. Both were amazing and beautiful, but at times, I just wanted to close my eyes and enjoy the music. I also have to say that the story wasn't that easy to follow. I had a read a brief synopsis to at least get the gist of it.

All in all, a great way to start the weekend!
