Setting in the kingdom of Allemonde in some legendary times... and a tale of a love triangle...
prince Golaud (Johannes Mannov) brings mysterious Mélisande (Elisabeth Jansson) home to his castle to be his wife and everything goes wrong...
His brother Pelléas (Palle Knudsen) is blindly attracted by Mélisand, and she is also drown to him...
Golaud murders his brother Pelléas, Mélisand give birth to a child by Golaud and dies on a bed.
The forest, the castle, the well, the grotto, the tower... all this elements are important in the Debussy's drama on the same level as playing characters.
The Pelléas et Mélisande is written with his (Claude Debussy) own musical language. Everything which is only hinted and not seen on the stage is complemented by the power of his music and imagination.
Excellent performance especially the love duet in Act IV. There is a great melancholy in the music, symbolic, and above all, this is a romantic opera.
