The story of Manon Lescaut has become part of the European
imagination: she is the fun-loving woman who is irresistible to
men. Of Massenet's many operas, she inspired the most popular one,
and this libretto shows his minute attention to detail in bringing
the character and the period to life. This guide opens with a
general survey of Massenet's career by the musicologist Gerard
Conde, and includes two essays about this particular opera.
Professor Hugh Macdonald explores the interplay of speech and song
in Manon and Massenet's genius for comedy. Professor Vivienne Mylne
traces the sources and context of Prevost's novel. Contents:
Massenet, Gerard Conde; A Musical Synopsis, Hugh Macdonald; Prevost
and 'Manon Lescaut', Vivienne Mylne; Manon: Libretto by Henri
Meilhac and Philippe Gille; Manon: English version by Edmund Tracey
