Jonas Kaufmann as Des Grieux sings ‘Donna non vidi mai’ from Act I of Jonathan Kent’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, La Royal Opera, 2014.
Puccini’s publisher tried to prevent him from adapting Abbé Prévost’s L’Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut – Massenet had already created a highly successful opera based on the novel. Pero no fue Puccini a ser disuadido, claiming ‘a woman like Manon can have more than one lover’. A pesar de una gestación con problemas (cinco libretistas estaban comprometidos en el proyecto), el estreno de Manon Lescaut en 1893 was Puccini’s first major triumph – a hit with critics and the public alike.
