English Touring Opera bring the glittering temptations of the big city to the stage with a exciting new production.

Puccini’s Manon Lescaut is a devastating depiction of a woman wrestling with her desire for love on her own terms and the rigid double standards imposed on her by society.

Jude Christian, fresh from a critically acclaimed Titus Andronicus at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, brings her incisive direction and a sharp, poetic new translation to the production, while ETO Music Director Gerry Cornelius conducts.
