Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential recording:
This disc has most of the right ingredients for a classic Manon Lescaut. Plácido Domingo and Montserrat Caballé in their prime were two of the loveliest Puccini voices of the late 20th century. Their Spanish temperaments only aid in conveying the passion in this story of a love that survives unpleasant parents, religious vows, and arrest, and ends without a shred of dignity in the swamps of Louisiana. The main drawback here is that conductor Bruno Bartoletti, for all of his experience, could've given a fresher account of the score and, in general, the whole thing sounds a bit studio bound. However, operatic decisions are made on the basis of voices, and this set has them. --David Patrick Stearns



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Sluggish conducting does in fine singing
It's a shame that the usually reliable Bruno Bartoletti, for whatever reason, conducts in such a way that almost every scene of Manon Lescaut is drained of charm and dramatic conviction. This is sleepwalking on the podium, and yet Domingo and Caballe are in good voice. He is the star here, singing Des Grieux's infautation and anguish with deep feeling. Fortunately, there's the later, beautifully conducted version that Domingo made with Freni under Sinopoli (DG). His art had greatly deepened and the ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Recording With Peaks and Valleys
MANON LESCAUT is one of those operas that can sometimes sit on my shelf for long periods of time. At some point, I'll decide to listen to it after I've forgotten how much I enjoy it and it will be like finding a lost treasure.

The opera is still performed somewhat frequently today. While it can stand on its own musically, it offers listeners to discover a different side to Puccini. It was his first work to be a major success and while we do find an accomplished composer, we also see glimpses ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - one reason to listen
Bartoletti is an uninspiring conductor, Domingo, though in good voice, is suprisingly boring, and the sound is not as full as one might expect from EMI. But all of that is irrelevant given one thing: Caballe, at her vocal peak, offering the most astonishingly beautiful singing you've ever heard. There are more dramatic Manons and overall more satisfying sets, but once you've heard this one, you'll never want to be without it--for one lush, luxurious reason.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A static and VERY SLOW but well sung Manon Lescaut
There is no definite recording of Puccini's first big success. Most Manon Lescaut recordings have things to offer. Who for example can resist Tebaldi or Freni in the title role, Pavarotti as De Grieux and Serafin's inspired conducting?

Caballe and Domingo have great voices and this recording captures them in their prime. This raised my expectations for a great all-around Manon Lescaut but I was eventually a bit disappointed. They both tend to make the opera too mellow-ish and this reduces its ... Read More

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and she will have a British Captain and Officers.   In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000 vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery  in 2006.   Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria.  The lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
