A very good vocal duo on the main roles: Annick Massis in the role of Manon and tenor Alessandro Liberatore, at his debut as De Grieux.
Manon is Massenet's most popular and enduring opera and, having "quickly conquered the world's stages", it has maintained an important place in the repertory since its creation. It is the quintessential example of the charm and vitality of the music and culture of the Parisian Belle Époque.
The opera was a mainstay of the Opéra-Comique in Paris, reaching its 1,000th performance there in 1919. Available on DVD and CD.
Subtitles in French, English, German, Italian and Korean. Region 0 (all regions).
Recording date: October 2014
