Manon

Album by Jules Massenet & Beverly Sills & Nicolai Gedda & Gérard Souzay & Gabriel Bacquier & Philharmonia Orchestra & Julius Rudel

Manon is an opera by French composer Jules Massenet, premiered in 1884. The score exemplifies late-Romantic French lyricism with flowing melodies, colouristic orchestration and a balance of intimate ensemble writing and more expansive vocal writing, and it occupies a central place in Massenet's output as a work that consolidated his mature operatic style.
