Pre-opera lecture on Massenet’s Manon.
An Enduring Love Story
The most popular of his operas, Massenet’s “Manon” is regularly performed around the world. Its roles are a dramatic and musical feast and the all-star cast in the upcoming Metropolitan Opera production should make for a thrilling performance. I look forward to sharing with you the story behind the legendary heroine who fascinated not only Massenet, but authors, artists and other composers, including Giacomo Puccini.

PLAYWRITING: PROCESS & PROJECTS is a six-week workshop designed to unleash the playwright’s inner imaginings, explore how stories emerge, and prepare for production. Producer/director Bill Burford helps writers, actors, and other artists foster each other’s work through free-drafting, reading each participant’s new pages together, and mutually supportive feedback.
Artists are encouraged to work on any kind of character-based piece for stage: plays, operas, and new forms, as well as dance, musical, puppet, or physical theater. With the performative medium left to the writer, each workshop’s focus develops with the scripts themselves, addressing a variety of concepts, processes, and techniques as needed.
The workshop concludes with a reflection on the preceding weeks’ work, and a final reading where the writers can hear excerpts from their latest re-write with an invited audience.
