Manon: Opera In Five Acts (1895)

Manon is an opera in five acts written by Henri Meilhac and first performed in 1895. The story follows the life of Manon Lescaut, a young woman from a humble background who is seduced by a wealthy man and becomes embroiled in a life of luxury, deceit, and crime. Manon is torn between her love for the wealthy Des Grieux and her desire for a life of luxury and pleasure. As the story unfolds, Manon's choices lead to tragic consequences for herself and those around her. The opera is known for its beautiful music, including the famous aria ""Je suis encore tout �����tourdie"" and the duet ""Toi! Vous!"" between Manon and Des Grieux. Meilhac's libretto captures the drama and emotion of the story, making it a timeless classic of the operatic repertoire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
