Previews and Reviews

A Striking Lescaut (San Francisco Classical Voice, February 21, 2006)
Puccini’s Manon Lescaut makes one sit in awe at the music (Inside Bay Area, February 21, 2006)
Manon learns you can’t take it with you in excellent West Bay Opera production (Los Altos Town Crier, February 22, 2006)

One man offers her passionate love, others a life of luxury. Manon cannot decide until it is too late. Puccini’s first masterpiece overflows with lavish spectacle, searing emotion, and glorious melody.
