Albanian soprano Ermonela Jaho on playing Manon, an impulsive young woman who chooses luxury over love. Find out more at http://www.roh.org.uk/manon


Manon tells the story of an impulsive young woman who is drawn into a world of male desire. She recklessly chooses luxury over love and, in doing so, pays the ultimate price. Jules Massenet based his 1884 opera on Abbé Prévost's controversial novel L'Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut. Laurent Pelly's charming production sets the action in the Paris of Massenet's day. The staging evokes the colour and elegance -- as well as the darker social undercurrents -- of the Belle Époque.

Manon is one of the great female roles of opera: she is both innocent ingénue and teasing seductress. Her music is richly varied, ranging from the sweetly hesitant 'Je suis encore tout étourdie' to the flamboyant Gavotte, 'Obeissons quand leur voix appelle', and the heartbreaking duet with Des Grieux 'Tu pleures!' The role of Des Grieux, whose music includes the great aria 'Ah! Fuyez, douce image!', is a popular one with many tenors. Vittorio Grigolo made his Covent Garden debut to great acclaim in 2010 as the passionate and betrayed lover.
