Manon Lescaut by Puccini, De (2023/2023), Dirigido por Hans Neuenfels, Director Carlo Rizzi, Nationaltheater, Múnich, Alemania

Puccini depicts Manon as an apparently self-confident woman who, driven by the desire for luxury, prefers wealth to true feelings. The fateful odyssey of Manon, who lives in a world defined more by cracks than by kisses, is told in a sketchy manner. In the end, Manon and her lover Des Grieux end up in the New Orleans desert, wandering “alone, lost, abandoned” toward certain death, driven by thirst and weakened by a terrible fever. Here, and only here, they can finally love each other. However, before Manon's life ends, she declares her eternal love: "My sins... shall be forgotten, but my love shall not die..."
