An NCPA – The Metropolitan Opera (New York) Presentation

Manon is Massenet’s most popular opera – a tale of love, greed and betrayal. Young Manon is sent to a convent by her family but has an encounter with a young student, Chevalier des Grieux, on the way. The two of them quickly get acquainted, fall in love and elope to Paris. Manon longs for riches that des Grieux cannot provide. When she is persuaded to leave him, Manon has to pay the price for choosing luxury over love.
