This DVD introduces a production by Gilbert Deflo, which had its first
performance at the Bastille opera in Paris in June 1997, conducted by Jesus
Lopez-Cobos. It was an unforgettable experience thanks to the splendid
historical costumes by William Orlando, the minimal décor, the sophisticated
lighting as well as the musical excellence of the performers. It was also due
to the charisma of Renée Fleming; she confessed in an interview, "I think
Manon is my favorite role. I love French music, it is so elegant and delicate
stylistically. It has both dramatic and lyrical elements." Marcelo Alvarez was
brilliant in the role of the Chevalier des Grieux, and among the other artists
were Jean-Luc Chaignaud as Lescaut, Alain Vernhes as the Comte des Grieux,
Michel Sénéchal as Guillot de Morfontaine and the choir and orchestra of
l'Opéra de Paris.
