American Ballet Theatre - Manon

Closed June 22, 2019

Saturated with fabric, from finely spun silk and brocade to dirty rags, this 1974 production is a battle between passion and poverty. As Manon tragically learns, you can't have both.

Why See American Ballet Theatre - Manon?

BalletDance & Ballet

A Dramatic masterpiece

The portrayal of a young woman torn between love and riches and the tragedy it brings to her and her lover have made Kenneth MacMillan's ballet a world-wide success. The ballet is inspired by the novel Manon Lescaut (which has also given rise to an opera of the same name) and is set to a score by Jules Massenet.

The captivating story takes us from decadent Parisian salons, where two young lovers meet (including our beautiful heroine Manon), to the much wilder swamps of New Orleans, where they are later exiled after a violent brawl involving Manon's lover, her brother, and the man who paid a high price to buy her affections.

Manon is an engrossing ballet though one not for the faint-hearted, with its dramatic tale of bought love, revenge and murder.
