An opera in five acts with music by Claude Debussy in a new orchestration by Stephen McNeff

Conducted by William Lumpkin with Stage Direction by E. Loren Meeker

Pelléas et Mélisande, based on Maeterlink’s symbolist play, tells a story of passion veiled in mystery set in an imaginary land in an unknown time. It is a love-triangle fraught with jealousy and human frailty ultimately ending in tragedy. Debussy’s evocative and rarely heard impressionist opera paints a psychological world full of hope and despair with haunting harmonies, penetrating melodies and lush orchestration. Sung in French with English supertitles
