London’s Royal Opera House is staging a production of Puccini's “Manon Lescaut” through December 12, 2016.Kent, who is the director of Royal Opera’s Tosca, created this production of Manon Lescaut in 2014, the opera house’s first production of the opera in 30 years. Kent finds contemporary resonance in the story of a woman tempted and misguided into acting against her best interests, and who finally receives retribution far more severe than her actions could ever deserve. A short storyline: When Manon meets the young student Des Grieux they fall in love. They elope — but when the elderly Geronte offers Manon a life of wealth and luxury, her head is turned.The performance is showcased at Royal Opera House, Bow Street, Covent Garden. London - WC2E 9DD.For further details, visit, www.roh.org.ukClick on the slideshow for a sneak peek of the show
