MacMillan at his best

Manon delves into the clash between love and ambition through a tragic tale of desire and survival. An impoverished French woman struggles between genuine love and the lure of luxury, ultimately discovering that her quest for opulence leads to ruin. Sir Kenneth MacMillan's acclaimed work provides profound insights into human psychology and the destructive nature of desire. Based on Abbé Prévost's 1731 novel, this influential ballet, presented with original sets and costumes from the Royal Ballet, makes its Bay Area debut.

WHO IT'S FOR: Anyone who relished British Icons last Season, period piece enthusiasts, and high drama aficionados who enjoy watching familial conflict, card sharps, and gut-wrenching heartbreak play out on the stage.
