THE WORLD'S FINEST OPERA
BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
MacMillan - Three Ballet Masterpieces
Tamara Rojo (Manon (Manon)); Carlos Acosta (Des Grieux (Manon)); Edward Watson (Crown Prince Rudolph (Mayerling)); Mara Galeazzi (Baroness Mary Vetsera (Mayerling)); Sarah Lamb (Countess Marie Larisch (Mayerling)); Lauren Cuthbertson (Juliet (Romeo and Juliet)); Federico Bonelli (Romeo (Romeo and Juliet))
This collection brings together three extraordinary ballets by Kenneth MacMillan, one of the 20th century’s most
influential choreographers whose work forms a pillar of The Royal Ballet’s 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 Ballet’s 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. If you have been waiting for a truly outstanding Romeo and Juliet to appear on Blu-ray, then look no further." (International Record Review - Romeo & Juliet)
"Kenneth MacMillan's choreography for this haunting tale is transcendent … stunning set and costume designs … John Lanchbery's truly remarkable score …" (The Times - Mayerling)
