Kenneth Macmillan's "Manon," the pinnacle of British ballet, returns to the stage of the New National Theatre, vividly depicting the epic drama of a young man and woman who love each other but are on the verge of ruin, set in the social disparity of 18th century France. Ayako Ono and Yudai Fukuoka will star in this production, which will be conducted by Martin Yates, who also arranged the piece, and orchestrated by the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. Macmillan's unique pas de deux with many acrobatic lifts and Jules Massenet's emotionally rich melody blend together to beautifully and cruelly bring into relief a story that delves into the darkness of the human heart. Enjoy this emotionally charged love story at the Opera Palace, which takes place in a world where the richness of society and the harshness of poverty are intertwined.
