Puccini's Manon Lescaut premiered on this day in 1893! The story centers on the Chevalier des Grieux and the young Manon, who fall in love at first sight, and run away together. Soon after, Manon abandons Des Grieux for the wealthy General Geronte — who ultimately realizes that she still loves her chevalier, leading him to denounce his wife and condemn her to exile. Here's the great Kiri Te Kanawa as Manon in the passionate aria "Oh, sarò la più bella!... Tu, tu, amore tu" alongside Plácido Domi

Mit ihrer Engelsstimme hat Renata Tebaldi die internationale Opernwelt verzaubert – hier verzaubert sie uns mit Manons Arie "In quelle trine morbide" aus Giacomo Puccinis Oper "Manon Lescaut".💫 Am 19. Dezember 2004 ist die italienische Operndiva von uns gegangen. Wir erinnern an sie mit dieser Aufnahme aus dem Jahr 1960 in München – begleitet wurde die Sopranistin damals vom Bayerisches Staatsorchester unter der Leitung von Carlo Felice Cillario. #opera #retro #history | ARD Klassik
