Manon
Manon (Ballet) Sir Kenneth MacMillan.
The Royal Ballet at Royal Opera House Covent Garden
Manon Kenneth MacMillan's three-act ballet is one of the great showpieces for The Royal Ballet, for whom it was created. Now a worldwide classic, the story is timelessly romantic. A young girl, Manon, is destined for a convent when she becomes torn between her impetuous love for the student Des Grieux and her desire for wealth and comfort as a kept woman to the much older Monsieur G.M. The Covent Garden stage bursts with 18th century life, from the bustling courtyard of an inn near Paris, where the couple first meets, to the louche atmosphere of a Parisian house of 'entertainment' and its courtesans.
Manon, played by the amazing Tamara Rojo, and Des Grieux, danced by superstar Carlos Acosta, are showcase roles for the dancers' extraordinary skill and dramatic power. Their duets electrify as they experience the emotional currents of their doomed love affair, fueled by Massenet's musical score, which exudes a dramatic sensuality. Seductive and powerful, Manon offers a unique chance to enjoy The Royal Ballet perform one of the highlights of their legendary repertoire.
