Manon in Full Score
Jules Massenet
Massenet possessed a natural sense of graceful melody in a distinctively
French style. In Manon he used leading themes and experimented with having
the dialogue not sung in the usual recitativo secco but spoken over a
slightly orchestrated accompaniment. The opera's continuing success attests
to the success of Massenet's innovation, and music and opera lovers will
delight in this attractive, inexpensive edition of the complete full
score, reproduced from an authoritative French edition
