Manon is a French opera in five acts by Jules Massenet, first performed at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, on March 19, 1884, libretto by Henri Meilhac et Philippe Gile, after the Abbé Antoine-François Prévost's "L'histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut". An immediate success, it has remained one of the most popular of French operas.
