Dance review: Manon, Joan Sutherland Theatre, Sydney Opera House

A technically and emotionally challenging ballet that, despite its traditional staging, still asks relevant questions today.

Two panels - on the left a Caucasian man in front of some foliage with short blond hair and a green crew neck sweater with his face turned to the right of the frame, on the right a book cover with an abstract red, orange and sky blue wash, plus a big blue splodge lake-like design ringing in thick black design in the centre. The title Saturation is across the bottom and the author name William Lane across the top.
