MANON

 

By  Jules Massanet

Leeds Youth Opera presents one of Jules Massanet's most popular and enduring operas with music that is said to capture the charm and vitality of the Parisian "Beautiful Era".    Manon starts her journey on the way to a convent but is soon seduced by the sights, sounds and characters she meets along the way, leading her down a very different path.     Artistic Director Anita Adams sets this version of Manon against the romantic and poetic backdrop of 1930's Paris, allowing the vibrant characters, stunning chorus numbers and intimate arias an exciting artistic freedom which brings this delightful opera to life.  This production is sung in English.
