About
A full-length ballet performed at the Royal Opera House, telling the story of Manon in 18th-century Paris. It was choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan in 1974 and is set to music by Jules Massenet, with designs by Nicholas Georgiadis. In the city's seedy underbelly, where money is king and everything has a price, Manon is torn between her steadfast love for the student Des Grieux and the temptations of wealth and high society. The ballet, an adaptation of Abbé Prévost's 1731 story, is praised for its nuanced understanding of human psychology and lasts about two hours and forty-five minutes, including two intervals.
