The Royal Ballet presents MANON - screening at Merlin

SUN. 11 FEB. - 2PM

Filmed live from the Royal Opera House on 7 February

This adaptation of Abbé Prévost's novel embodies Kenneth MacMillan at his best, his acute insight into human psychology and his mastery of narrative choreography finding full expression in the impassioned duets of the central couple, visceral and urgent in their desire.

The heroine's struggle to escape poverty make Manon one of the most dramatic and devastating of ballets, emphasized by Nicholas Georgiadis' evocative designs that reflect the juxtaposition between Manon's impoverished origins and the lavish world she longs to inhabit.

The 2023/24 Season celebrates the centenary of Nicholas Georgiadis.
