Itinerary

Make your way to Opera Garnier, 8 Rue Scribe, 75009 with your Opera Garnier Ticket to start your evening with the stunning ballet performance, Manon.

Inspired by L'Abbé Prévost’s legendary heroes, Kenneth MacMillan expresses his fascination for offbeat characters and dramatic subjects. The choreographer faithfully follows the novel, Manon Lescaut’s plot and reconstructs the tragic story of the sensual yet naïve creature who is more victim than architect of her own fate. In Regency Paris, bourgeois society gorges itself on luxury and easy pleasures. Carried off in this swift, Manon the protagonist is unable to resist temptation and she drags down the faithful Des Grieux with her in her fall.

The choreographer constructs his ballet on a mosaic of extracts from Massenet finding in the music all the drama, freshness and romanticism necessary for this grand fresco in dance. The crowd and ball scenes follow on from spirited pas de deux right up to the ballet’s sublime yet tragic conclusion.

After the mesmerizing 2 hour performance you can opt for a delicious dinner at Grand Café Capucines. Your dinner at the restaurant will include 3 choices of starter, main course and dessert, half bottle of wine and water.
