As Manon’s love interest, Le Chevalier des
Grieux, tenor Jonas Kaufmann complements Dessay wonderfully, with subtle
tenderness and gorgeous outpourings of passion. Their duets—like the
third-act reunion, “N’est-ce Plus Ma Main?,” where she begs him to return to
her instead of becoming a priest—can be outright thrilling. |
