The Metropolitan Opera

Manon

JULES MASSENET

  • ESTIMATED RUN TIME:  3 HRS 55 MINS, 2 intermissions
  • SUNG IN FRENCH
  • photo credit:   / Met Opera

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.
