Screening of The Royal Ballet's Kenneth MacMillan ballet Manon, set to Jules Massenet's score, at The Arc Cinema's event cinema series.
The Royal Ballet bring Manon to The Arc Cinema on Sunday 1 November, from 14:00 to 17:30. It's a screening of Kenneth MacMillan's 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost's novel, a signature work for the company. The story is set in the seedy underbelly of 18th-century Paris and follows Manon, who falls in love with the student Des Grieux while being tempted by the riches of Parisian society. MacMillan's choreography is set to Jules Massenet's score and staged with Nicholas Georgiadis's designs.
The screening is part of the Arc Cinema's event cinema series, which brings live theatre, dance and music from venues like the Royal Opera House to the local screen. It's projected in High Definition with allocated luxury seating, and the season typically runs from September through May. If you've never seen the Royal Ballet before, this is a way to catch one of their main-stage productions without leaving Preston.
