Manon. The Houston Ballet. A modern classic, Manon charts the romantic adventures of an irresistibly beautiful femme fatale and her one true love, the impoverished student Des Grieux, from the demi monde of Paris to the bayous of Louisiana. Sir Kenneth has created a brilliant dance drama that explores the relationship between love, sex, and the corrupting power of money. The passion and danger of Manon's central pas de deux have proven irresistible to audiences around the world, and have made it one of the most popular full-length ballets of the second half of the twentieth century. 7:30pm. Wortham Center, Brown Theater, 501 Texas Ave. Tickets: $35-$160; 713.227.2787 or www.houstonballet.org
