"Sumptuous, sensuous and sexy … A breathtaking performance, technically and dramatically." The New Zealand Herald
Manon is a story of passion, greed and betrayal, played out in the 18th century salons of Paris and the steamy swamps of Louisiana.
A beautiful but naïve young woman, Manon Lescaut must choose between the penniless student she loves, and the lure of luxury offered by a mysterious older man. Ravishing sets and costumes and the romantic sweep of Jules Massenet’s music provide a suitably opulent backdrop to Manon’s fateful choice and its devastating consequences.
Not seen in Australia for almost ten years, Manon is always an audience favourite, and offers an engrossing and spectacular night in the theatre!
