HISTOIRE DE MANON

Balletto in tre atti

Libretto e coreografia: Kenneth MacMillan

Musica: Jules Massenet (arrangiamento di Leighton Lucas)

Prima rappresentazione: Londra, Covent Garden, Royal Opera House, Royal Ballet, 7 marzo 1974

Ambientato a Parigi e dintorni, la prima parte del balletto vede protagonisti della scena Madame che giunge in una locanda molto frequentata, seguita da cortigiane ed attrici e Lescaut, il fratello di Manon, un giovane arrivista che cerca di concludere il miglior affare economico possibile sfruttando l’avvenenza della seducente sorella Manon. Quest’ultima, infatti, attira l’attenzione di quasi tutti i presenti, ma Lescaut è interessato soprattutto all’ evidente coinvolgimento emotivo mostrato da due facoltosi signori Monsieur Guillot ed un anziano signore che accompagna Manon nella locanda. L’avvenenza della ragazza non ha paragoni, finanche il giovane Cavalier des Grieux è profondamente innamorato di lei e, mentre, il fratello della donna è impegnato a trattare il miglior prezzo per la sorella, il Cavalier convince Manon a scappare con lui. Il ricco e potente Monsieur Guillot riesce a spuntarla, proponendo un’offerta così vantaggiosa da non poter essere rifiutata, si accorda, dunque, con Lescaut di diventare il nuovo protettore della giovane.

Manon e Grieux trascorrono momenti di indimenticabile felicità ed amore, tali da far ricordare al giovane di dover compilare una lettera per il padre che gli dia notizie certe della sua situazione attuale, così, mentre egli si allontana per spedire la lettera, Manon viene raggiunta dal fratello in compagnia del Monsieur Guillot. Entrambi la seducono con gioielli e pellicce e la convincono ad acconsentire ai loro piani. Tornato Des Grieux, trova ad attenderlo nella stanza, Lescaut, il quale gli offre del denaro per non cercare più Manon.

Si riapre la scena nel secondo atto, nuovamente ambientato nella locanda, tra il via vai delle ragazze con i ricchi clienti ,Lescaut è ubriaco, Manon con il nuovo ricco protettore si atteggia sfoggiando gioielli e pellicce che le sono stati donati, Grieux in preda alla disperazione cerca di ricondurre a se la giovane donna ,offrendole il suo amore ,ma nulla convince Manon fin quando quest’ultima architetta di raggirare al gioco delle carte il facoltoso Guillot con l’aiuto di Des Grieux.La partita truccata ha inizio ed i due cercano di sottrarre denaro al Monsieur, quest’ultimo, tuttavia, ben presto si accorge dell’inganno e risolve l’affronto a suon di spade .Nel caos generale i due giovani riescono a fuggire, così Monsieur  Guillot si dirige direttamente da Lescaut ritenendolo responsabile del dolo e del piano di fuga della sorella.. Manon e Des Grieux elaborano un modo pe lasciare la città, purtroppo vengono interrotti dal ricco protettore che sopraggiunto con le guardie fa ammanettare Lescaut ed arrestare Manon come prostituta. Nel trambusto della vicenda Lescaut resta ucciso.

Manon viene deportata su una nave insieme ad una colonia di prostitute e criminali, accompagnata dal giovane Des Grieux che aveva dichiarato di esserne il marito. Il Carceriere si invaghisce della donna e cerca di abusare di lei, interviene, dunque il suo amato, il quale riesce a sconfiggere il carceriere, cosicché i due possano finalmente fuggire.  Purtroppo le condizioni fisiche di Manon non le permettono di sopravvivere alla fuga, stremata da fatica e febbre, ella muore tra le braccia del suo amato.

    My developer is trying to convince me to move to
    .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on several websites for
    about a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
    I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
    Any help would be really appreciated!

    Hey people,

    I've been diving into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was honestly suspicious. I mean, how do you even believe in an online platform with your cash, right? But after digging deep (and trying out a few questionable sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that separate a trustworthy casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **check the license**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper legal status (like from the MGA or the UKGC), just walk away. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of wagering requirements they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super clean. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Massive*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: plinko What really won me over was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like no time. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, hard pass.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just grab every shiny offer. It’s smarter to go for fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and bet the farm — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra cash and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just stay sharp, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s interested or trying to find a trustworthy place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some casino nightmares, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and don’t let the house win too much ??

    Hey guys,

    I've been diving into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was totally unsure. I mean, how do you even rely on an online platform with your cash, right? But after spending hours researching (and trying out a few sketchy sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that set apart a legit casino from a risky mess. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **licenses matter**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission), just close that tab. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “generous” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super smooth. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Insane*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some weird niche games I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: spinmama opinie forum What really stood out was the support team. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just ghosted by support — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some legit ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just chase bonuses. It’s smarter to go for fair terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra spending money and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver.
