Royal Ballet Live Encore Screening: Manon

An exuberant revival of Sir Kenneth MacMillan's wildly popular ballet, which was recorded live on the stage of the Royal Opera House in London under the baton of conductor Koen Kessels. Chevalier Des Grieux falls deeply for Manon when he spots her at a country tavern. She reciprocates his love but is driven by her desire for ermine and jewels into the arms of rich but lecherous Monsieur G.M.
