The highs and lows of Stefan Herheim's Manon Lescaut at the Dresden Semperoper

Max Woods, 5th March

Puccini is one of opera’s best loved composers. With so many popular titles to his name, it is somewhat surprising how infrequently his first great success, Manon Lescaut, is performed today. What makes this even more unusual is the opera’s universal appeal.
