Manon, a naive girl on her way to a convent, dreams of the city. Des Grieux, a young student, is instantly smitten by her, and they run away together. But once in Paris, Manon quickly succumbs to the lure of money and position, becoming the much-admired mistress of a powerful man. IMPERIAL SUITE New York style and Parisian chic in a dazzling double bill Take away the fairies and swans and tragic love, and what is left of ballet? A glittering clarity of technique. Ballet Imperial and Suite en blanc, both made in the early 1940s, showcase clean lines, thrilling pointe work and a distinctive elegance.
