Jonas Kaufmann as Des Grieux sings ‘Donna non vidi mai’ from Act I of Jonathan Kent’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, Kraljevska 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. Puccini je da ne zovem politčkom, claiming ‘a woman like Manon can have more than one lover’. Unatoč problematične trudnoće (pet librettists su bili uključeni u projekt), premijera Manon Lescaut u 1893 was Puccini’s first major triumph – a hit with critics and the public alike.
