Flashback to 1994, when Houston Ballet first brought Sir Kenneth MacMillan's Manon to the Wortham stage. From the streets of Paris to the bayous of Louisiana, this love story became part of who we are, featuring images of legends like Lauren Anderson and Li Cunxin amongst many others. Now Manon is home again. Who remembers that first season?
