Kristine Opolais as Manon in Manon Lescaut, Royal Opera House, June 2014. Photograph by Bill Cooper.Opolais has few opportunities for the vocal colour and inflection she does so well, but she absolutely nails the love-hungry thrust of the big Act Two duet, lost and abandoned midway up the stage on the desert highway. How good it is, too, to believe instantly when the chorus sing about a “beautiful young girl” or Lescaut of a “handsome young man.” And both are stage naturals on whom all eyes are fixed. -- source link
