THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Massenet: Manon
Natalia Osipova (Manon); Reece Clarke (Des Grieux); Alexander Campbell (Lescaut); Gary Avis (Monsieur G. M.); Mayara Magri (Lescaut's Mistress); Elizabeth McGorian (Madame); Lukas B. Brændsrød (The Gaoler); Taisuke Nakao (Beggar Chief)
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 Abbé Prévost’s novel L’Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut embodies 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.

"The theatre audience gave the production an ecstatic response… if you’ve enjoyed Romeo in the past but haven’t yet made Manon’s acquaintance, I do urge you to do so" (Musicweb International)
