„Manon“, revisited, Vienna State Ballet (Wiener Staatsballett): June 21st, 2026
As a great believer and admirer of Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s work (perhaps with the only exception, „Mayerling“, a ballet that does not contain, for me, the necessary, required „ballet language“), I had to „take some time“ between performances, as this ballet and the characters’ complexity are what one could call „a notch above“. You must have time enough to, pardon me the expression, „digest“ what you have just experienced. And “Manon”, on top of it all, adds a bit of melancholy to my well-being.
