David Pountney presents Pelléas and Mélisande

In the dreamlike kingdom of Allemonde, a bond forms between the fragile Mélisande and her new husband’s half-brother, Pelléas.

This is a tragic opera unlike any other, Debussy eschews vocal fireworks to create a strange, dreamlike atmosphere which is hard to escape from. It is fitting that the team who created a definitive account of Lulu in 2013 should return to stage this beautiful and troubling 20th century masterpiece.

Prepare to lose yourself in Debussy’s sensual and mysterious world.

Pelléas and Mélisande by Debussy, From (2015/2015), Directed by David Pountney,, Conductor Lothar Koenigs, Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, United Kingdom
