Manon - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Manon
Opéra comique in five acts
after Abbé Prévost
Manon, irresistibly attracted to wealth, is on her way to a convent.
She falls in love with the Chevalier Des Grieux – and he with her. But their time together is short-lived, as Manon succumbs to the advances of the wealthy Brétigny. This, too, doesn't last long; she soon returns to her beloved Des Grieux. He wants to improve his financial situation through gambling. But he and Manon are arrested, and she is to be exiled to America. The hardships of prison, however, have broken her: she dies in Des Grieux's arms on the way to the harbor.
