This highly-rated production of Manon by The Australian Ballet was recorded live at the Adelaide Festival Centre in 1995 & features premier dancers Justine Summers, Steve Heathcote, Nigel Burley, Jonathan Kelly, Lynette Wills & Paul de Masson. In 18th century Paris, Manon, a captivating young woman, falls passionately in love with a penniless student, des Grieux.

Des Grieux, a victim of Manons desires & depravity, sacrifices everything to follow her to a tragic end.
