1st act
Manon, a beautiful young girl from the provinces, is about to be taken to a convent by her brother Lescaut. The student Des Grieux falls in love with her at first sight. Geronte, a rich old man is also impressed by Manon and plans to kidnap her. Edmondo informs his friend Des Grieux of Geronte's intentions. After Des Grieux Manon confesses his love, they flee together. Lescaut assures Geronte that Manon will soon tire of living in poverty and will voluntarily turn to Geronte and his prosperity.
2nd act
Lescaut's prophecies have come true: Manon has left Des Grieux to live a life of wealth at Geronte's side. However, she tells Lescaut, her brother, that Des Grieux's new-found wealth cannot outweigh it. Geronte shows off Manon to some of his friends. Manon is surprised by Des Grieux. He blames her for leaving him. When she begs for forgiveness, he falls under her spell again. But the passionate lovers have hardly been reunited when Geronte returns surprisingly. Manon laughs at Geronte, who then leaves, vowing revenge. Des Grieux urges Manon to flee immediately, but she cannot part with the luxury of her new life. Lescaut appears and warns them that Geronte wants Manon imprisoned. In her desperate attempt to flee as many jewels, clothes and money as possible, she hesitates too long: Geronte appears and has her imprisoned.
3rd act
Des Grieux and Lescaut's plan to free Manon fails. Manon's humiliation and shame is now revealed: she is about to be deported. Des Grieux, obsessed with her, manages to be allowed to accompany her.
4th act
Des Grieux and the dying Manon are in a wasteland. Des Grieux goes in search of water at Manon's request. Left alone, she reviews her life and recognizes her mistakes. When Des Grieux returns, she confesses her love for him and dies in his arms.
