BALLET AU CINÉMA – L'HISTOIRE DE MANON

In the underworld of 18th-century Paris, money is king. A child of this hedonistic and seedy milieu, Manon is torn between two conflicting desires when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. Loyal and devoted, he offers her the chance of an honourable life. But she remains tempted by the riches that Parisian life promises her… In this iconic production by the Royal Ballet, MacMillan offers an unflinching glimpse into the moral depravity of Manon’s Paris, whilst Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s sets perfectly capture its decadence and decline.
