Manon, Royal Opera House ballet review: Rich in depth but spark lacking in big duets
Marianela Nuñez's Manon jumps out of the coach, young and fresh, with a sensuous pleasure in movement. Around her, the pimps and would-be clients circle. Kenneth MacMillan's Manon is tale of corruption and glamour, with a heroine who picks diamonds over true love, only to end up dead in a swamp.
