‘Manon’ podcast is an inside look

A behind-the-scenes look at Los Angeles Opera’s critically acclaimed production of Massenet’s “Manon” -- starring opera’s couple du jour, Anna Netrebko and Rolando Villazon -- is now available via podcast.

The company’s new podcast series, “Behind the Curtain,” explores the making of “Manon” through the eyes of Netrebko, Villazon, director-choreographer Vincent Paterson, costume designer Susan Hilferty and others. The four-episode series is available on the company website, www.laopera.com.
