His acute insight into human psychology and his masterfully narrated choreography are fully expressed in the impassioned duets of the central couple, burning with intense and urgent desire. The heroine's struggle to escape poverty makes Manon one of the most dramatic and crushing ballet pieces, highlighted by Nicholas Georgiadis' evocative designs that reflect the contradiction of Manon's impoverished origins and the world of opulence to which she has come so far. desires. The 2023/2024 season will celebrate Nicholas Georgiadis' centenary.
