Met Opera: Manon Lescaut
March 5, 2016 @ 10:55 am - 1:00 pm
The Met stage ignites when soprano Kristine Opolais and tenor Jonas Kaufmann join forces in Puccinis obsessive love story. Opolais sings the title role of the country girls who transforms herself into a Parisian temptress, while Kaufmann is the dashing student who desperately woos her. Director Richard Eyre places the action in occupied France in a film noir setting.
“Desperate passion” is the phrase Puccini himself used to describe the opera that confirmed his position as the preeminent Italian opera composer of his day. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi leads the stirring score.
High definition satellite broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.
