Pelléas og Mélisande at Kilden Teater- og Konserthus

Debussy's masterpiece in intimate Chamber version

Debussy's only opera, Pelléas and Mélisande, marked a new direction in opera history. Based on a play by nobel Laureate Maurice Maeterlinck Debussy created an opera where the intensely beautiful, sensual music mirrors stem­ninger and feelings more than external events.

Pelléas and Mélisande, a Symbolist drama triangle: the Opera tells the enigmatic story of Mélisande, who is found in a forest by Prince Golaud. Nobody knows where she comes from, and after some time she poisons herself with Golaud. But Golauds brother Pelléas is also be­tatt of Melisande, and between these three played an intensely tragic love drama output.
