Manon: San Franscisco Opera

Storyline: Bright lights, lavish parties and the height of fashion at every turn. But at what price? Composed at the height of the Belle Epoque, Jules Massenet’s bright, sensual opera follows a pair of not-so-innocent young lovers as they tangle with the toast of Paris, inviting dangerous consequences. Music by Jules Massenet | Libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille
