MANON! is a musical theatre adaptation of Jules Massenet’s 1884 opera Manon, with a new English libretto by Jacob Ashworth and Rory Pelsue, and musical arrangements by Heartbeat Opera music director Dan Schlosberg. The adaptation is inspired by the connection of the genre of opéra comique—a form of popular opera which generally included spoken dialogue—to that of modern musical theatre.
Recorded live from the original cast at Power Station and produced by GRAMMY Nominee Jonathan Estabrooks and Jacob Ashworth with a new English libretto from Rory Perdue and Jacob Ashworth. It is co-produced by Christian De Gré Cárdenas, engineered by Chris Benham and mixed and mastered by 3x GRAMMY nominee Jennifer Nulsen.
