Question: Which work was created first, Manon Lescaut or La liberazione di Ruggiero?
Sentence (from "Manon Lescaut (Puccini)"): The story is based on the 1731 novel "L'histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut" by the Abbé Prévost and should not be confused with "Manon", an 1884 opera by Jules Massenet based on the same novel.
Relevant evidence: No
