About
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 Abbe Prevost'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.
Critic reviews
“Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon is one of the jewels in the company’s crown and this new release offers us the opportunity to watch superstar Natalia Osipova’s intense interpretation as she takes on the complex and multi-faceted title role.”
MusicWeb International, Nominee for recording of the year, December 2024
“…Natalia Osipova is, along with Marianela Núñez, one of [the Royal Ballet’s] very finest dancers.”
