About
Listen to the synopsis
In few words:
Inspired by Abbé Prévost’s mythical heroes, in L'histoire de Manon Kenneth MacMillan expresses his fascination for dramatic subjects and characters who have fallen from grace. Faithful to the plot of the celebrated 18th century novel, he reiterates the tragic story of this sensual yet ingenuous character, both victim of and responsible for her fate. In Regency Paris, bourgeois society revels in luxury and easy pleasures. Carried away on this hedonistic whirlwind, Manon cannot resist temptation, bringing the faithful Des Grieux down with her in her fall. The choreography is constructed on a mosaic of extracts from music by Massenet, providing all the theatricality, freshness and romanticism demanded by this great danced fresco. Crowded ballroom scenes give way to sublime pas de deux until the ballet’s tragic end.
