The Metropolitan Opera - Puccini: Manon Lescaut (2016)
Kristine Opolais is the young woman whose conflicting desires for love and luxury lead to her tragic end, and Roberto Alagna plays the man who falls for her in Puccini’s early hit. Richard Eyre’s elegant production, which sets the action in 1940s occupied France, was one of the highlights of the Met’s 2015–16 season. Massimo Cavalletti as Manon’s brother and Brindley Sherratt as her aging admirer co-star, and Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Absolutely the worst movie.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
