Jules Massenet’s five-act opera-comique is presented on this release by Patrick Davin and his Orchestra of the Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liege. Manon is Massenet’s most-performed opera, which has maintained its spot in the repertoire since its composition. Starring in the title role is French soprano Annick Massis, who has enjoyed a long stage career, frequently performing in Mozart’s operas and many bel canto roles.
History
Massenet’s most popular work, based on Abbe Prévost’s novel Manon Lescaut, premiered at Paris’s Opéra-Comique in 1884. Laurent Pelly, who created the Met’s new production of the opera, says: “Manon is an adventure that amuses, moves, and frightens us. The title character is lively, free, young, and feckless—and she manipulates all the men around her purely for her own pleasure. Anna Netrebko is remarkable in the part—she has sex appeal, a bewitching voice, and she is an extraordinary actress.”
