Manon Lescaut
Manon Lescaut, Giacomo Puccini’s third opera and his first big success, arrives at the Real in a production by Carlos Wagner that explores the darkness and intensity of this tragic love story. Conducted by Nicola Luisotti, the production will feature the outstanding voices of Sondra Radvanovsky and Saioa Hernández in the title role with Michael Fabiano, Jorge de León, Lucas Meachem o Szymon Mechliński, among others.
This is a very special Italian opera with the most demanding tenor part the composer ever wrote, making each scene both a dramatic and a vocal challenge.
