I agree with you in every word. Beverly Sills was my favorite Manon too. No one will ever take her place...

Beverly Sills is unsurpassable in this!

Sills was a singer and actress extraordinaire! Beside the ravishing singing, watch her at 3:18 - her whole demeanor changes in this one phrase. On Ecoutez-moi, she is begging him; on Rapalle-toi, she knows she's got him!! The greatest Manon.

This is my favorite youtube clip of this duet. I find Mr. Price's voice to be nothing less than amazing. It retains the charachter of a young man but with the strength of a mature opera singer. The subtitle translation is pretty accurate. YAY!

There's a VHS (very hard to find), but no DVD that I know of. :(

all lovers of opera must see and hear this clip - as well as hear the entire amazing opera with sills...beverly totally embodies this character - and she sounds so french and sensual!...I used this scene in a music therapy class 25 years ago - and the whole class was in tears!

If a more sensual woman ever lived, I haven't seen her. My heavens, was Beverly ever dynamic!

Henry Price is "priceless".
