Manon Lescaut: by Puccini

Manon Lescaut was another opera from the 2004/2005 season. Honestly I don't remember much from this one.

Pros: Easy to follow storyline. Staging was nice especially the end where they are in the desert. It was mostly an empty stage with lots of eerie smoke floating around. And they sing until they die. Nothing unusual about that in opera circles at least!

Cons: Strange ending where Louisiana was the desert. Obviously Puccini had never been to New Orleans. And it was pretty long.
