Jonas Kaufmann as Des Grieux sings ‘Donna non vidi mai’ from Act I of Jonathan Kent’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, 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. Tetapi Puccini tidak boleh dicegah, claiming ‘a woman like Manon can have more than one lover’. Meskipun kehamilan bermasalah (lima librettists terlibat dalam proyek), Premier Manon Lescaut di 1893 was Puccini’s first major triumph – a hit with critics and the public alike.
