Why every dancer wants to perform Manon

Principal Artists Benedicte Bemet and Joseph Caley reflect on why Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s Manon is a bucket list ballet. From the emotional depth of Jules Massenet’s score to the universal themes of love, duty and tragedy, Manon offers an experience that is as technically demanding as it is profoundly moving. Since its addition to The Australian Ballet’s repertoire in 1994, Manon has continued to captivate audiences with its powerful portrayal of a love story driven by desire and undone by greed.
