Virginia Zeani "In quelle trine morbide" Manon Lescaut

Manon has found luxury in the home of a wealthy protector. But the rich satin draperys chill her and make her long for the simple life she had with des Grieux.

VIrginia Zeani enjoyed great success as Manon Lescaut in the 1970s singing many performances with the young Placido Domingo.

A natural brunette, she particularly enjoyed the opportunity of going blonde.

This is a mimed to a pre-recorded track, probably from some years before she sang the role, and it gives a misleading impression of Mme Zeani's dramatic intensity

Zeani for me is the best embodiment of what called a great opera singer.

Virginia è troppo, troppo, TROPPO brava. Ascoltarla fa dimenticare le brutture della vita.

Une belle interprète.

Manon is a geniune girl with natural grace but no refinement, and for sure she is not a high-society lady. And in mere words she's sick and tired to stay in the house of her protector.

Exquisite vocalizing and breathtaking dynamics, though, that actually could fit to any lirical personage.

She's a DIVA.....romanian sopranos have a special voice...something appart!...Look up also for Eugenia Moldoveanu......
