Manon is like any person who, strolling down the street one day, glances up at a second-story window and catches a glimpse of a different life,” explains Vincent Huguet about his staging of Massenet’s Manon, “a life that she suddenly desires ardently … and will do anything to have.” In his update of Prévost’s famous novel, Huguet demonstrates, with empathy and acuity, that Manon’s tale could really be anyone’s.

Next to the two other well-known adaptations of Manon Lescaut for the opera stage (Auber’s in 1856 and Puccini’s in 1893), it is Massenet’s that hews most closely to the novel. All the essential elements of the story are there: the bright-eyed youth of the protagonists, Manon’s uncertainty as to what she truly desires, and des Grieux’s innocence that will harden and shatter in the face of tragedy. Sensational young superstars Benjamin Bernheim (des Grieux) and Pretty Yende (Manon) are accompanied by the Paris Opera Orchestra and Chorus, under the capable baton of Dan Ettinger.

Lorsque l’abbé Prévost signe en 1731 L’Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut – qui inspirera à Massenet sa Manon – c’est le tableau d’une époque qu’il nous livre : celle de la Régence, qui voit la vieille société s’éteindre tandis qu’une nouvelle semble naître, pleine de la promesse d’une liberté nouvelle. C’est entre ces mondes qu’évolue Manon, fuyant le couvent pour embrasser les chemins du désir et de la transgression, et se jeter à corps perdu dans une passion brûlante et autodestructrice avec des Grieux. Une parenthèse s’ouvre, qui se refermera dans la douleur et dans la nuit. Le metteur en scène Vincent Huguet s’affranchit du taffetas historique de l’œuvre pour en faire ressurgir toute la violence.
