“Manon Lescaut,” an opera by Giacomo Puccini, first premiered back in 1893 and was the famous Italian composers’ first show to become a major hit of the day.

Based on the 1731 novel “L’histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut,” by French author Abbé Prévost, it is set in the 18th century in both Paris and New Orleans, and tells the story of Manon Lescaut, her brother, simply known as Lescaut, and her lover Chevalier des Grieux.
This adaptation is produced in conjunction with the Théatre Royal de La Monnaie in Brussels and the Welsh National Opera in Cardiff.

It is directed by Mariusz Treliński and stars Amanda Echalaz as Manon Lescaut, and Mikołaj Zalasiński as Lescaut. Music is provided by the orchestra of the Polish National Opera.
