Manon Lescaut - Metropolitan Opera
Directed by Richard Eyre, Gary Halvorson
Written by Luigi Illica, Abbé Prévost, Domenico Oliva, Marco Praga, Ruggero Leoncavallo
Kristine Opolais is the young woman whose conflicting desires for love and luxury lead to her tragic end, and Roberto Alagna plays the man who falls for her in Puccini’s early hit. Richard Eyre’s elegant production, which sets the action in 1940s occupied France, was one of the highlights of the Met’s 2015–16 season. Massimo Cavalletti as Manon’s brother and Brindley Sherratt as her aging admirer co-star, and Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
