Manan Lescaut: Puccini (2014)

The Royal Opera House with a stellar cast, including Kristīne Opolais and Jonas Kaufmann in the roles of the young lovers Manon Lescaut and Chevalier des Grieux, Jonathan Kent brings this 19th century classic to a 2014 setting under the venerable baton of Antonio Pappano, with the Orchestra and Chorus of the Royal Opera House. “From the moment Kaufmann and Opolais embark, with infinite delicacy, on their emotional journey, it becomes clear that this is a vocal marriage made in heaven… they are supported by a performance in the pit, under Antonio Pappano, of rare refinement.” The Independent
