monastery or love? love or money? money or death? – On the way to the monastery, young Manon is swarmed by men. When Chevalier Des Grieux shows up, the two fall in love and decide to flee. They live in Paris, money is scarce, family honor is violated. And so Manon agrees to have Des Grieux kidnapped on his father's orders and begins a new life alongside a wealthy man. While she lives in the greatest splendor, Des Grieux, in his sorrow, decides to be ordained a priest. Manon finds out about it and can change his mind. They live together again: love big, money tight, luxury and casino tempting. Accused of cheating, both are arrested, Des Grieux is released, Manon has to go to the women's prison. Money is supposed to save her, but she is already too weak... Recording of the premiere on January 24, 2021 from the Hamburg State Opera.
