Manon Lescaut poster

Released in 1983, Manon Lescaut is a música film directed by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, running about 167 minutes.

What it’s about. The sets and costumes by Ponnelle are truly reflective of the 'grand style'. Plus the fact that the two lead characters are portrayed by top singers in their absolute prime - both Gruberova and Araiza weren't even 35 years old at the time of this performance, makes this production the most convincing both dramatically and musically. The conducting of Fischer is good - he makes the music come alive, much more so than the MET version.

Who’s in it. Manon Lescaut stars Edita Gruberova as Manon, Francisco Araiza as Des Grieux, Hans Helm as Lescaut and Pierre Thau as Comte des Grieux, among others.
