Rescued from her fate in a convent, Manon finds herself pulled between two suitors: Power and True Love. Opera’s original it-girl deftly invents and reinvents herself, transforming her circumstances even when the stakes turn deadly. Obie Award-winning director Rory Pelsue (NYT Critic's Pick The Last Bimbo of the Apocalypse, Pulitzer Prize finalist Circle Jerk) and Artistic Director Jacob Ashworth premiere a saucy English-language book and lyrics for this musical theatre revamp of Massenet's masterpiece. Dan Schlosberg channels Richard Rodgers and Rococo in his luscious new arrangements, and a glittering cast of opera-savvy Broadway voices bring an entirely new sound to Heartbeat Opera.
