The debut music release from Heartbeat Opera, a group that "provides vigorous proof that opera is nowhere near dead" (Classical Voice North America), MANON! transforms Jules Massenet’s classic tale of love, glamour, and reinvention into a dazzling new musical theatre-infused adaptation. Featuring a saucy new English-language book and lyrics by Jacob Ashworth and Obie Award winner Rory Pelsue and luscious new arrangements by Dan Schlosberg, who conducts from the piano, this Original Cast Recording preserves Heartbeat Opera's "categorically imaginative and radical" (The New Yorker) approach to classic opera for the first time ever.
