Royal Opera House Publicado en agosto 21, 2015
Jonas Kaufmann as Des Grieux sings ‘Donna non vidi mai’ from Act I of Jonathan Kent’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, The 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 Puccini non estaba a ser dissuadido, claiming ‘a woman like Manon can have more than one lover’. A pesar dunha xestación problemática (cinco librettists estaban implicados no proxecto), a estrea de Manon Lescaut na 1893 was Puccini’s first major triumph – a hit with critics and the public alike.
