Manon
Production Company: Royal Ballet
Venue: The Corn Hall
The Royal Ballet - LIVE
This adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel embodies Kenneth MacMillan at his best, his acute insight into human psychology and his mastery of narrative choreography finding full expression in the impassioned duets of the central couple, visceral and urgent in their desire. Manon’s struggle to escape poverty make this one of the most dramatic and devastating of ballets, emphasized by Nicholas Georgiadis’ evocative designs that highlight Manon’s impoverished origins and the lavish world she longs to inhabit.
Torn between her desire of a life of splendour and riches, and her devotion to her true love Des Grieux, the feckless and capricious Manon pays the ultimate price.
Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. Approx 3hrs 15mins incl two intervals
