In this vibrant and innovative staging of Massenet’s MANON, the 1884 opera has been updated to a 1950s America setting, with the singers embodying the striking glamour of the era’s silver screen stars. World-renowned soprano Anna Netrebko stars as Manon Lescaut, and offers a glittering, nuanced performance shaded with elements of Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, and Ingrid Bergman.
