Exhilarating soprano Lisette Oropesa stars as the
irresistible title character, the tragic beauty who yearns for the finer things
in life, in Laurent Pelly’s revealing production. Tenor Michael Fabiano is the
besotted Chevalier des Grieux, whose desperate love for Manon proves their
undoing. Maurizio Benini conducts Massenet’s sensual score.
A co-production of the Metropolitan Opera; Royal Opera
