Production from the Grand Theatre in Poznań. Opera in four acts.
"Manon Lescaut" was Puccini's first work to achieve full success, marking the beginning of the then 34-year-old composer's international career. Not even the fact that the same subject had been presented on the opera stage by Jules Massenet just nine years earlier, let alone earlier works by Halevy and Auber based on the novel by Prévost, could diminish the success of Puccini's opera. In "Manon Lescaut," Puccini's individual musical style, which had already begun to emerge in his earlier works, came to full fruition. The opera is characterized above all by its immense melodiousness, not only in the vocal parts but also in the orchestral motifs that underscore the action on stage, the originality of the harmonic language, and a unique approach to recitatives. It is vibrant in its stage action and exhibits a wide range of moods. By placing great demands on both musical and vocal performers, the work allows them to showcase their own skills while offering the audience an opportunity to experience opera at its highest level. "Manon Lescaut" has never been performed on the opera stage in Łódź, making this production a splendid opportunity to become acquainted with this outstanding musical masterpiece.

On stage, in front of a plain, bright wall with the neon word
On stage, in front of a draped, gray curtain, stands a woman in a dark dress with a yellow feather boa. She sings with her arms raised.
On stage, in front of a crowd of figures in historical costumes, a man in a beige, patterned suit kneels, singing with expression and spread arms. The crowd behind him sings along, reacting to his performance. Some hold bottles.
On a stage lit with purple light, a woman in a rich gold dress stands with her hands on her hips in front of a group of people gathered around a long table. In the background, a bright, round spotlight is visible. In the foreground, a man sits in an armchair, and another figure stands next to him.

On the stage, lit by bright spotlights, a large group of actors in various theatrical costumes are performing a scene. In the center is a man in a dark coat, and around him and behind him are gathered other actors in costumes from different periods. The background of the stage is simple, in light shades.
On stage, in a minimalist setting with light walls and a colorful backdrop, a group of young people in dark, almost identical outfits and white headgear stand in a row. In front of them are two adults in rich, contrasting theater costumes. To the left is a figure in a dark coat, manipulating a panel of cards.
On stage, in a minimalist setting with pale walls and a purple backdrop, a woman in a rich gold dress and black stockings reclines nonchalantly on a pink armchair, her arms spread, one leg raised.
On a stage lit with cold light, two actors in theatre costumes are performing a dramatic scene on a worn-out mattress. A woman in a torn blue dress lies on the mattress, and a man in a light shirt kneels next to her, touching her face with a look of concern. The set design is minimalist, with light wooden elements in the background.
