The young and naïve Manon is torn between two lives: privilege and opulence with the wealthy Monsieur GM, or innocent love with the penniless student Des Grieux. Wanting it all will be her downfall.

Aristocrats and beggars, courtesans and harlots fill the stage to take you from a gambling den in 18th Century Paris to a desolate Louisiana swamp, and share with you one of British ballet’s most dramatic stories.

Famous for its expressive choreography and acting demands, Manon features some of the most challenging roles in ballet. Let English National Ballet dancers and Philharmonic sweep you up to the haunting score by Jules Massenet.

The show was fabulous. Went with friends and we all enjoyed it thoroughly. Complicated story so should have read he summary beforehand. Theatre staff were 1st class also. Stunning theatre.

Sophie A Taylor

Possibly the most incredible afternoon in the theatre. I have dreamed of seeing this ballet since I was 8 years old and it passed my expectations. Truly magnificent performances by my current favourite dance company. It was outstanding.

ENB is a staple of our calendar and what a better way than to be welcomed at the coliseum, the audience is diverse and so is the cast. Awesome! Exquisite.

Nigel Rudd

Excellent performance by the lead dancers and especially from Daniel McCormick. The pace and choreography maintained a very high level of audience engagement throughout the show.
