Following the premiere of Massenet's Manon at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Die Presse praised “the inspired selection of locations” — the famous grey Parisian roofs, dark interiors, majestic churches and glittering casinos. And although its tendency is a tragic opera, the director manages to highlight its comic aspects. A prime role for Nadine Sierra in this passionate drama.
