Ballet on Screen: Massenet: Manon

Performed by The Royal Ballet in 2023.

Torn between her desire of a life of splendour and riches and her devotion to her true love Des Grieux (Reece Clarke), the alluring and capricious Manon (Natalia Osipova) pays the ultimate price.MacMillan's adaptation of Abb Prvosts novel LHistoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescautembodies his acute insight into human psychology and his mastery of narrative choreography.

This is MacMillan at his best; finding full expression in the impassioned duets of the central couple, visceral and urgent in their desire.Starring Natalia Osipova (Manon); Reece Clarke (Des Grieux); Alexander Campbell (Lescaut); Gary Avis (Monsieur G.
