We're getting "Interview with a Vampire" vibes from Opera Australia's new Manon Lescaut, opening on July 16. It happens. Director Gale Edwards serves up the Puccini heroine as an irresistible sacrifice for Lescaut...or should we say ~Lestat~? With our leading hunk Lescaut as Teddy Tahu Rhodes, Cheryl Barker sings Manon and Jorge López Yáñez sings Des Grieux. López Yáñez rules...he made a mariachi CD! How bad a$$ is that?
