This collection brings together three extraordinary ballets by Kenneth MacMillan, one of the 20th centurys most influential choreographers whose work forms a pillar of The Royal Ballets repertory. MacMillan pushed the boundaries of dance, and these three signature works exemplify his searching genius: the emotional intensity and rich physicality of his choreography, through vivid crowd scenes and passionate pas de deux; the daring and the darkness of his complex and fascinating characters; and the mesmerizing, sensuous music to which his steps were always created. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound. 'Lovers of classical ballet should, without question, go and see the Royal Ballets magnificent production of Manon. Ballet sceptics, meanwhile, should see it at least twice'. (The Telegraph - Manon) 'Such is the breathtaking impact of this production, with consistent excellence to savour from both principals and the corps, magnificent costumes and stage scenery and spot-on camera direction from Ross MacGibbon that criticism is effectively silenced.
