Jonas Kaufmann as Des Grieux sings ‘Donna non vidi mai’ from Act I of Jonathan Kent’s production of Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut, Opera Królewska, 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. Ale aby nie dał się odwieść Puccini, claiming ‘a woman like Manon can have more than one lover’. Pomimo trudnej ciąży (pięciu Libreciści byli zaangażowani w projekt), na premierze Manon Lescaut w 1893 was Puccini’s first major triumph – a hit with critics and the public alike.
