Pelléas et Mélisande Debussy

When he accidentally discovers Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist drama, Debussy understands that he has finally found the ideal text. The timelessness of the characters and places perfectly suits his sensitivity as a musician who will know how to create his unique lyrical masterpiece, atypical because freed from the constraints of a conventional intrigue. Adulterous love swings into the tragic daily life of a triangle of somnambulists tossed about by fate - Prince Golaud, his younger brother Pelléas and the enigmatic Mélisande - indecisive figures moved by a prosody as transparent as music renouncing to say. Both carnal and mysterious, she achieves the feat of a subtle fusion between poetry and music while upsetting the laws of harmony.
What strange beauty emanates from this Pelléas! Conductor Kirill Karabits and director Benjamin Lazar form the ideal duo to magnify the daring of this drama as well as its ineffable truths
