February Recording of the Month: Le Portrait de Manon
February 1, 2025
Our February Recording of the Month is Jules Massenet’s Le Portrait de Manon – a one-act follow up to his most well-known opera Manon.
For this live recording – also featuring Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’été – we worked with four singers and two conductors from Royal Ballet and Opera’s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme.
I would certainly recommend this recording, especially to fans of Massenet’s operas who want to see the character of Des Grieux in his maturity and to hear how the composer quotes his most popular work effectively in its sequel – American Record Guide
