Invitation to the Opera: Manon

     Manon is the story of the destructive love between two young dreamers, and about the rise and fall of a woman who fantasizes about a life of endless material pleasures. As the young ingénue, Lisette Oropesa delivers a stunning performance, marked by brilliant coloratura, melting lyricism, and enchanting stage presence. Her performance alone is worth the price of admission.

     Also featuring tenor Michael Fabiano as the impetuous Chevalier des Grieux and baritone Artur Ruciński as Lescaut. Maurizio Benini is on the podium to lead one of the most passionate scores in the French operatic repertoire.
