Abstract

Composing his opera, based on the Abbe Prevost’s 1733 novel, Manon Lescaut, Massenet attempted to open new possibilities for the lyric stage. He sought an authentically French genre which incorporated both the Italian masters’ emphasis on voice and Wagner’s focus on dramatic atmosphere (Branger 35). The result is a popular French opera that transforms much of Prevost’s masterpiece and yet remains essentially the same story — or at least it feels the same. Yet neither plot, character, theme, setting, tone, nor narrative structure remains unaltered.
