Description
This guide opens with a general survey of Massenet's career and continues with two essays about the opera 'Manon' in particular. Professor Hugh Macdonald explores the interplay of speech and song in this opera and Massenet's genius for comedy. Professor Vivienne Mylne traces the sources of Prévost's novel, setting it in the context of other racy, supposedly improving, 18th century novels of the seduction and ruin of women.
First Sentence
