Manon Tickets and Schedule

Few operas have endured as powerfully as Manon—an opéra comique in five acts that stands as a central pillar of late-19th-century French opera. With music by Jules Massenet and a French libretto by Henri Meilhac and Philippe Gille, the work premiered on 19 January 1884 at the Opéra-Comique (Salle Favart) in Paris. Adapted from Abbé Prévost’s 1731 novel L’histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut, it pairs intimate, conversational storytelling with sweeping romantic climaxes.

At the heart of Manon opera is a dramatically charged love story set in France, notably Paris and its environs. The score captures the era’s French lyric tradition—shifting from buoyant, dance-like charm to stark, tragic lyricism as the story deepens. Today, Manon remains a regularly performed repertory opera, appearing in new stagings and revivals by major opera companies.

Musically and vocally, Manon is famous for its star-making lead roles. Manon (soprano) demands a wide expressive range—girlish charm, flirtatious brilliance, and later dramatic intensity—requiring both lyric delicacy and virtuosic sparkle. Chevalier Des Grieux (tenor) is a major French lyric/dramatic lyric tenor role known for soaring climaxes and extended cantabile phrasing, while Lescaut (baritone) and Comte Des Grieux (bass) anchor the social and moral pressures surrounding the lovers.

Story & Artistic Elements

In and around Paris, the young Manon and the chevalier Des Grieux fall passionately in love, but Manon’s desire for luxury and status draws her into a world of wealth and compromise. As scandal and punishment close in, their attempts to reclaim a simpler life unravel toward a tragic downfall.

Audiences return for iconic musical and dramatic moments—especially Manon’s onstage transformation from innocence to celebrated courtesan to destitution, mirrored by Massenet’s shifting sound world. Signature highlights include the St. Sulpice scene, in which Des Grieux’s attempted religious retreat collides with the lovers’ emotional rupture and reunion, and “Adieu, notre petite table,” Manon’s intimate farewell to domestic simplicity—one of French opera’s great soprano scenes.
