The Royal Ballet: Manon (2026) / 12A
Kenneth MacMillan’s acclaimed ballet captures Manon’s tragic struggle between love, desire, and survival in a decadent 18th-century Paris, brought vividly to life through Massenet’s sumptuous score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s iconic designs.
In the dangerous underworld of 18th-century Paris, where wealth and status rule, Manon is torn between the devotion of the student Des Grieux and the allure of a life of luxury. As she navigates a world where love has a price, her choices lead to devastating consequences in Kenneth MacMillan’s powerful and psychologically rich masterpiece for The Royal Ballet.
