DVD + Blu-Ray:
Kenneth MacMillan's Manon

Performed at the Royal Opera House starring Natalia Osipova and Reece Clarke.

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 Royal Ballet are on top form and Natalia Osipova is the ultimate dancer and actor as Manon" (Seen and Heard International)
