Les Siècles
Debussy. Pelléas et Mélisande
Deep sorrow in Maeterlinck's Symbolist masterpiece
In Pelléas et Mélisande Debussy finally found the visual language he had long wanted to couple with his music. Sadly, the story of that ill-fated love triangle was destined to be his only finished opera. In this new Opéra de Lille production, Daniel Jeanneteau & Marie-Christine Soma throw light on some of the mysteries surrounding Debussy's enigmatic work. The Concertgebouw takes us along on a trip to Lille and to a dark fantasy world.
