  • "This was the opera that first brought Puccini fame--and in this passionate performance, starring Raina Kabaivanska in the title role opposite Richard Tucker as des Grieux, it's easy to see why. The two characters' tumultuous relationship sends off musical sparks, as both of their lives are invariably altered by the experience. After a chance meeting, Manon and des Grieux's idyllic life in poverty is short-lived as she begins to crave the luxury offered by other suitors. In the end, she dies a destitute woman, with the faithful des Grieux by her side--even though his unwavering love for her has ruined his life as well."

  • "The legendary Renata Tebaldi had a special affinity for Puccini. It wasn't only that her rich, mahogany sound delivered his soaring vocal lines so beautifully, that her voice would rise triumphantly over the most dramatic orchestral climaxes, or soar in the most haunting pianissimo. It was also that she gave every word its own special timbre, making you feel every bit of her character's emotion. In this broadcast, she calls on each of these vocal resources to portray Manon Lescaut, a passionate young girl overwhelmed by her conflicting desires."
  • "Renata Tebaldi, soprano Mario Del Monaco, tenor Fernando Corena, bass Orchestra and Chorus of Accademia di Santa Francesco Molinari-Pradelli, conductor Libretto included."
  • "Manon Lescaut: Dramma lirico in quattro atti. Libretto: Marco Praga, Domenico Oliva, Luigi Illica e Giuseppe Giacosa."
  • "A grim story of love, betrayal, jealousy and death, Puccini's opera calls for dramatic, forceful performances. It gets the full treatment here in a new studio recording starring Andrea Bocelli."
  • "Puccini's early opera captures all the youthful ardor of the scandalous story of Manon Lescaut. A gripping Dorothy Kirsten plays the desirable young girl being shipped off to a convent, who falls in love with Des Grieux (the sensational Jussi Björling) and leads him to ruin. When the story was first published in the 18th century it was meant as a warning to young people. But Puccini's sweeping melodies and lush harmonies are as enticing as the unforgettable performances by Kirsten and Björling. Young, heedless romance at its best."
  • "ALBANESE, Licia (soprano). BJOERLING, Jussi (tenor). MERRILL, Robert (baritone). CALABRESE, Franco (bass). CARLIN, Mario (tenor). CAMPI, Enrico (bass). ROTA, Anna Maria (mezzo-soprano). ROME OPERA HOUSE CHORUS. ROME OPERA HOUSE ORCHESTRA. PERLEA, Jonel (conductor)."
  • "Critics praised James Levine's dramatic, heart-on-the-sleeve conducting which went right to the core of this youthful Puccini opera. It certainly inspired this sensational cast to an overwhelming performance. Renata Scotto is Manon Lescaut, the enticing young woman who chooses to run away with Des Grieux (Plácido Domingo) instead of going to a convent. She leads him to utter ruin before dying in his arms by the side of the road. But seldom has the thrill--and danger--of all-consuming passion been so vividly portrayed."
  • "The love, longing, despair, and tragedy in Puccini's early score that made this opera his first big success are personified by a remarkable cast and conductor in this touching performance. Jussi Björling is the young des Grieux in love with the title heroine. The entrancing Licia Albanese plays the object of his affection, and conductor Dimitri Mitropoulos pulls out all the emotional and dramatic stops in his exploration of Puccini's genius."
