On this occasion he met Franz Liszt who asked him to assist him in his teaching duties. Three years later, he returned to Paris and had her first success with operas: La Grand 'Tante, Don Caesar de Bazan, Mary Magdalene and The King of Lahore.

In 1884 was created the very popular Manon, an opera based on the novel Manon Lescaut by Abbe Prevost. His most famous operas are Don Quixote, Herodias, The Cid, The Juggler of Notre Dame, and even more, according to Werther The Sorrows of Young Werther by Goethe. Thai, with its superb violin solo of the second act religious meditation, known as the Meditation from Thais, but is famous, surrounded by a sulfurous reputation, this opera was successful a decade after its creation. The influence of the Massenet opera composers is felt, for example, in Ruggero Leoncavallo, Pietro Mascagni, Giacomo Puccini or in Pelléas et Mélisande by Claude Debussy.
