Manon Lescaut
ml-26 Manon Lescaut – Slide 26 ‘It is hardly arguable that the staging of this story … calls for outstanding set and costume designs, convincing acting, and strong vocal artists capable of conveying the emotional depth and intense beauty of Puccini’s music. The revival of John Pascoe’s 2004 production for Washington National Opera did not disappoint.’
ml-25 Manon Lescaut – Slide 25 ‘An abundantly emotional Manon Lescaut at the Kennedy Center’
ml-24 Manon Lescaut – Slide 24 ‘If Pascoe’s Mozart hints at his admiration of aspects of pop culture, his Manon Lescaut manifests his encyclopedic knowledge of European cultural history.’
ml-23 Manon Lescaut – Slide 23 ‘In Act IV, the red of the backdrop evoked a cross between a Wagnerian landscape and a scene from Bonfire of the Vanities. All the former pedestals and columns used in the show could be recognised but now lay broken on their sides, the wreckage of an imploded civilisation.’
ml-22 Manon Lescaut – Slide 22 ‘Hutson and Pascoe took their palette from northern European painters and light to capture the rainy day and the dirty grime of Le Havre harbour.’
ml-21 Manon Lescaut – Slide 21 ‘Manon Lescaut oozes with passion, and is filled with larger-than-life heroes and villains. Washington National Opera is more than equal to the task of bringing Manon to the stage in a relevant, exciting, and beautiful way.’
ml-20 Manon Lescaut – Slide 20 ‘During the Intermezzo, the manuscript wall opens yet again and the audience experiences the waves of the open sea, as Manon and Des Grieux sail on to America, an effect that Puccini himself – the creator of the extraordinary transition of scenes in the final act of Madama Butterfly – might have found absorbing.’
ml-19 Manon Lescaut – Slide 19 ‘Director John Pascoe’s staging is traditional, the costumes appropriate to the 18th-century setting, but there’s nothing wrong with adhering to tradition when it’s done so effectively.’
ml-18 Manon Lescaut – Slide 18 ‘A lovely touch was the subtle use of mirrors in Geronte’s home as a representation of Manon’s vanity … Visually, this production was beautiful and engaging, serving as a continuation of the story being told on stage. Don’t miss Manon Lescaut!’
ml-17 Manon Lescaut – Slide 17 ‘An exciting evening that brilliantly displayed the virtues of this rather under-appreciated masterpiece. I recommend this production and cast unreservedly.’
