Why can love be so destructive? And why are some decisions so much harder than we think?
The first episode of StageVibes delves into the world of Puccini’s opera MANON LESCAUT. A passionate yet tragic story that tells of a love caught between longing, freedom, luxury and social constraints.
The young seven-member podcast team, Oper.Stadt.Schule and Sendeeinheit, embark on an exciting journey behind the scenes of the opera: they discuss Puccini’s music, the dramatic plot and the timeless significance that *Manon Lescaut* continues to hold for the world’s great stages to this day.
Tune in now and experience the vibes of Oper Köln.
The podcast has shown me just how modern and timeless the themes explored in opera really are!

I realized there's so much more to the role than you could ever describe in a brochure.
