L'Histoire de Manon: Paris Opera Ballet
Paris, Palais Garnier — Main Hall
About the Event
Kenneth MacMillan constructs his three‐act ballet, L'Histoire de Manon, on a mosaic of extracts from Massenet, finding in the music the drama and romanticism necessary for this grand fresco in dance.
Inspired by L'Abbé Prévost’s legendary heroes, the choreographer reconstructs the tragic story of the sensual yet naïve creature who is more victim than architect of her own fate. In Regency Paris, bourgeois society gorges itself on luxury and easy pleasures.

This was my first opera and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a small theatre but I think this adds to the amazing voices of the singers. There was food provided for free…not sure what as we didn't have any. I'm hooked now and would like to see more. Excellent evening !!

本場のオペラ。初めてでした。素晴らしかった!次回のパリ滞在の節も是非足を運びたいとおもいます。 恥を忍んで。パリのオペラ座、と言えば「オペラにあるオペラ座」しか思い浮かばない人間で、バスティーユにもオペラ座があるとは、夢思いませんでした。そのため当日、当たり前の顔をしてオペラのオペラ座に出向き、そこで誤りを指摘され、慌ててバスティーユへ駆け付けた次第。1970年代のバリしか知らない者の失敗談でした。

バレエはもちろん、皆、まるでストレートプレイのようにお芝居が上手。いや、それ以上でした。感情表現を身振り手振りで全て説明。さすが~オペラ座!という感じ。特にプリマは可憐で可愛らしく、オードリーヘップバーンのような雰囲気。素晴らしい舞台でした。

Fabulous! From picking up the ticket at the box office to the magnificent seat in this wonderful theatre. The seat was close enough to the stage to be able to see all the facial expressions so that was an extra bonus. A great service

Excellent. Except the gentlemen at the 'Will Call' window refused at first to accept your confirmation since it was for "The Queen of Spades" which he could not (or did not want to) identify with the french title "La Dame de Pique"

Ich hatte den Eindruck, dass die Musiker und das Ensemble möglichst schnell nach Hause wollten, denn die Tempi waren sehr schnell gewählt, wodurch so manches musikalische Detail auf der Strecke geblieben ist. Mir persönlich war "Alfredo" zu laut, ein paar leisere Töne dazwischen hätten nicht geschadet, zumal der Kirchenraum eher klein war, eine tolle Akustik hatte und es dieses "Geschmetter" nicht dauernd gebraucht hätte. Stimmlich hat mir "Giorgio" sehr gut gefallen. Insgesamt hatte ich einen schönen Abend, denn ich war schließlich im Urlaub.

The soloists were professional and indeed very good. The choir consisted of good hobbyists I assume. Stage accessories were minimal (small stage), but the atmosphere in theatre was great. In the end it was good value for money.

Violetta was exceptional, Alfredo less so, certainly not a charmer. The rest of the cast was somewhat "rigid', this is a melodramma but the first two acts require that the partecipants at the parties enjoy themselves. This lot certainly did not. The venue is very nice but it could do with some air conditioning.
