Manon Lescaut is a 1914 American silent drama film directed by Herbert Hall Winslow and starring Lina Cavalieri, Lucien Muratore and Dorothy Arthur.
 It is an adaptation of the Abbé Prévost's novel "Manon Lescaut" (1731).
 It is now considered a lost film.
Manon Lescaut is an opera or opéra comique in 3 acts by Daniel Auber to a libretto by Eugène Scribe, and, like Puccini's "Manon Lescaut" and Massenet's "Manon", is based on the Abbé Prévost's novel "Manon Lescaut".
 Auber's version is nowadays the least-performed of the three.
Boulevard Solitude is a "Lyrisches Drama " (lyric drama) or opera in one act by Hans Werner Henze to a German libretto by Grete Weil after the play by Walter Jockisch, in its turn a modern retelling of François Prévost's "Manon Lescaut".
 The piece is a reworking of the Manon Lescaut story, already adapted operatically by Auber, Massenet and Puccini, and here relocated to Paris after the Second World War where, as is noted in Grove, the focus of the story moves away from Manon and towards Armand des Grieux.
 It became Henze’s first fully-fledged opera.
 The work stands out for its strong jazz influences, from a composer who had hitherto been associated with twelve tone technique.
Alessandro Polonini (1844, Crema – 1920, Crema) was an Italian bass-baritone.
 He created the roles of Benoît and Alcindoro in Puccini's opera "La bohème", as well as Geronte de Ravoir in his "Manon Lescaut".
 Polonini also created the role of the surgeon in Verdi's "La forza del destino".
Manon Lescaut is an opera in four acts by Giacomo Puccini, composed between 1890 and 1893.
 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.
The Lovers of Manon Lescaut (Italian: Gli amori di Manon Lescaut) is a 1954 French-Italian historical melodrama film directed by Mario Costa and starring Myriam Bru, Franco Interlenghi and Roger Pigaut.
 It is based on the 1731 novel "Manon Lescaut" by Antoine François Prévost, which has been made into films on a number of occasions.
Manon Lescaut ("L'Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut") is a novel by French author Abbé Prévost.
 Published in 1731, it is the seventh and final volume of "Mémoires et aventures d'un homme de qualité" ("Memoirs and Adventures of a Man of Quality").
 It was controversial in its time and was banned in France upon publication.
 Despite this, it became very popular and pirated editions were widely distributed.
 In a subsequent 1753 edition, the Abbé Prévost toned down some scandalous details and injected more moralizing disclaimers.
L'histoire de Manon, generally referred to as "Manon", is a ballet choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan to music by Jules Massenet and based on the 1731 novel "Manon Lescaut" by Abbé Prévost.
 The ballet was first performed by The Royal Ballet in London in 1974 with Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell in the leading roles.
 It continues to be performed and recognised internationally.
Francesca Caccini (18 September 1587 – after 1641) was an Italian composer, singer, lutenist, poet, and music teacher of the early Baroque era.
 She was also known by the nickname "La Cecchina", originally given to her by the Florentines and probably a diminutive of "Francesca".
 She was the daughter of Giulio Caccini.
 Her only surviving stage work, "La liberazione di Ruggiero", is widely considered the oldest opera by a woman composer.
La liberazione di Ruggiero dall'isola d'Alcina ("En."
 "The Liberation of Ruggiero from the island of Alcina") is a comic opera in four scenes by Francesca Caccini, first performed 3 February 1625 at the Villa di Poggio Imperiale in Florence, with a libretto by Ferdinando Saracinelli, based on Ludovico Ariosto's "Orlando Furioso".
 It is the first opera written by a woman, and was long considered to be the first Italian opera to be performed outside of Italy.
 It was performed to celebrate a visit from Prince Władysław of Poland during Carnival 1625, and it had a revival in Warsaw in 1628.
 The work was commissioned by Regent Archduchess Maria Maddalena of Austria, wife of Cosimo II de' Medici, for whom Caccini worked.
 "Ruggiero" was printed under the protection of Maria Magdalena in 1625, only five years after the first printed opera in Italy.
 It is the only opera by Francesca Caccini to survive.
