During this live performance Sills sings the rarely heard alternate aria (known as a Fabliau by Massenet), "Oui, dans le bois et dans la plaine." Massenet composed this as a custom substitution aria for one of his favorite Manons, French soprano Georgette Bréjean-Silver, who apparently demanded something more showy than the well-known Gavotte for the Brussels premiere of the opera. The Fabliau is hardly ever performed (probably because the Gavotte itself is so good), and here is the incredible Beverly Sills doing what she knew how to do better than anyone else and that was , to sing MANON. One of her signature roles. Sills made this role so famous that one of the reason the role is so loved and well know these days is in great part to SILLS contribution.
