MANON
About this event
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. This influential ballet makes its Bay Area debut, presented with original sets and costumes from the Royal Ballet. Performances are set from January 24 to February 1, 2025, at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco.
