The Royal Ballet Presents: Manon

Torn by her longing for a life of luxury and her devotion to true love, Manon faces the ultimate price in this captivating ballet. Set against the backdrop of 18th-century Paris, where wealth dictates fate and even love is for sale, Kenneth MacMillan's adaptation of Abbé Prévost's novel showcases Manon's inner turmoil as she navigates her affections for the devoted Des Grieux and the seductive allure of high society. With poignant insights into human psychology and a vivid portrayal of moral decay, this iconic production features the beautiful music of Jules Massenet and stunning designs by Nicholas Georgiadis.
