  3. Royal Ballet & Opera 2026/27: Manon

    In the seedy Parisian underworld of the 18th century, money reigns supreme. Nothing is sacred—and even love can be bought, if the price is right. As a member of this hedonistic underworld, Manon is torn when she falls in love with the student Des Grieux. The steadfast and devoted young man offers her the chance at an honorable life. But Parisian high society remains full of temptations… In his 1974 adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel, Kenneth MacMillan focused on Manon’s inner turmoil and her struggle for survival. In this signature production by the Royal Ballet, MacMillan’s nuanced understanding of the human psyche offers an unflinching look at the moral decay of Manon’s Paris, whose decadence and downfall are powerfully underscored by Jules Massenet’s score and Nicholas Georgiadis’s staging.

How current is the programme?

Data is scraped multiple times a day directly from cinema websites. Cancellations, sold-out flags and programme changes usually surface within an hour.

Can I buy tickets here?

No — the Tickets button on each screening links directly to the cinema's own booking page. This site doesn't sell tickets and takes no commission.

What do OmU, OmeU, DF, OV, DCP, 35mm mean?

Language version: OmU = original audio with German subtitles, OmeU = original with English subtitles, DF = German-dubbed version, OV = original version with no subtitles, stumm = silent film (often with live accompaniment). Projection format: DCP = Digital Cinema Package, the digital standard in modern cinemas; 35mm / 16mm / 70mm = analogue film prints on physical stock.

What happens to screenings that have already started?

On today's view, screenings are hidden 30 minutes after their start time, so only reachable showtimes remain visible. A small note at the bottom shows how many have already begun.

Why this site?

Frankfurt has an unusually dense cinema scene — the DFF Filmmuseum, Astor, three arthouse houses, Pupille at the university, Programmkino Rex in Darmstadt, the Murnau in Wiesbaden — but no shared programme. This site lays every house onto one searchable day view.
