Jules Massenet's Manon from the Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, starring Amina Edris in the title role and conducted by Marc Minkowski.

The beautiful Manon is supposed to be in a convent, but instead elopes with the Chevalier des Grieux, much to the annoyance of Manon's brother, Lescaut, and De Bretigny who is in love with her. She's soon tempted away by the rich De Bretigny, but leaves her heart with Des Grieux. Massenet's ever-popular opera in a performance from the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona stars Amina Edris as the doomed Manon, with Pene Pati and Tomeu Biblioni as the two men vying for her attention.

Presented by Martin Handley with guest Sarah Hibberd.
