La joven Des Grieux se enamora de Manon, que está destinada al convento por su familia. La secuestra y ambos descubren París, sus libertinos y su vértigo. ¿Se resistirá su pasión? Bella e intransigente, la visión de Vincent Huguet está esculpida por la batuta apasionada de Dan Ettinger, a la cabeza de los mejores intérpretes. Un proyecto de este tipo requiere también una Manon excepcional: Pretty Yende y Sofia Fomina compartirán el papel principal. Ópera cómica en cinco actos sobre libreto de Henri Meilhac y Philippe Gille, basada en la novela del Abbé Prévost, L'Histoire du chevalier Des Grieux y de Manon Lescaut.

The year 2019 marks the 350th year of existence of the Opéra de Paris, and the Opéra national is staging two exceptional shows at the Palais Garnier in the form of an inaugural gala. Under the direction of Dan Ettinger, the principal dancers, soloists, corps de ballet and orchestra of the Opéra national de Paris will perform extracts from famous ballets as well as some of the most popular opera arias. Soprano Sonya Yoncheva, tenor Bryan Hymel and baritone Ludovic Tézier are among the headliners. A magical experience!

Stage director Vincent Huguet takes up eternal themes—liberation and courage, devotion and doubt, tragedy and acceptance—to stage three histoires sacrées (sacred histories) written by Marc-Antoine Charpentier more than 300 years ago. The economical use of a small instrumental ensemble over Latin vocal lines creates space for sublime surprises: more than abrupt mood changes or an unexpected fortissimo, we become attuned to the slightest dissonance, the delicate softness of instruments in unison, the briefest moments of silence. After three centuries, the drama of the work hits just as potently in the 21st century.
