Massenet - Manon (score)

Jules Massenet exercised a profound influence on French opera. 'Manon' is the masterpiece of his numerous works and has been a staple of the repertoire for over a century. The libretto for this work, by playwright Henri Meilhac and journalist Philippe Gille, is based on L'histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut by Abbé Prévost. Retaining the novel's eighteenth-century setting, Massenet's opera offers noisy crowd scenes, passionate duets, and tense melodramas, which certainly pleased the Opera-Comique's patrons - it was an instant popular success.
