Romantic love, or security? Life at the side of the wealthy Geronte would offer the beautiful Manon luxury but no passion. The opposite is true of a relationship with the poor knight Renato des Grieux. Manon must decide which path to take, but alas, she cannot, and this will prove fatal… The State Opera presents a new staging of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Manon Lescaut, directed by Sláva Daubnerová and with music orchestrated by conductor Simone Di Felice. The premieres will take place on 27 and 29 March 2025.
