Pelléas et Mélisande

Details

Rich with symbolism and dream imagery, Pelléas et Mélisande is Debussy’s sole opera, and this uniquely imagined production has long been a dream of Co-Artistic Directors Marshall Pynkoski and Jeannette Lajeunesse Zingg.

Based on the symbolist play by Maurice Maeterlinck, Pelléas et Mélisande follows a prince lost in a forest who discovers a beautiful woman weeping beside a pool of water which brings him in contact with a supernatural world from which there is no escape.

Associate Music Director Dr. Christopher Bagan enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to realize a unique score of Debussy’s massive opera in a new arrangement for Opera Atelier and 14 elite soloists from Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra.

Pelléas et Mélisande will feature David Fallis conducting and will be directed by Marshall Pynko.
