Manon


Check Availability - Price £104.50*


Kenneth MacMillan’s three-act ballet Manon is not just one of the great showpieces of The Royal Ballet, for whom it was created, but also now of the classical ballet repertory worldwide. The story itself is famous, following the trials of a young girl Manon torn between her impetuous love for the student Des Grieux and her desire for wealth and comfort as a kept woman of a rich man. These two central roles are wonderful showcases for the skill and dramatic power of any dancers, especially with MacMillan’s memorable duets that bring out the emotional currents of the doomed love affair. This time round there will be the extra thrill of catching several debuts in the roles of Manon and Des Grieux from up-and-coming young stars of The Royal Ballet. The stage picture emphasizes the life and look of the 18th century, first through the bustling courtyard of an inn where the couple first meet, later with the louche atmosphere of a Parisian house of ‘entertainment’ and its courtesans. And through it all is appealing and expressive music drawn from Massenet, skilfully woven into a ballet score that alternates between the sensuous and the dramatic. Moral tale and adult themes there may be, but above all Manon offers a chance to enjoy the very best of world-class ballet.
