Manon Lescaut: Gran Teatre del Liceu
About the Event
Revel in the manifold verismo glories of Manon Lescaut. Ludmyla Monastyrska, one of opera's breakout stars of the last few years, sings the title role.
Davide Livermore's production sets the action within the context of its era of composition — the early 20th Century — with the specter of Ellis Island looming. Puccini's luscious score and irresistible characters come to life on the stage of the Liceu under the experienced baton of Emmanuele Villaume.
Please check the cast section for more information about the artists performing on specific dates.
