Pelléas et Mélisande Berlin — Claude Debussy, 1902
Debussy's one and only opera Pelléas et Mélisande is an hypnotic, unfailingly strange 3-hour dream. There are no arias in the conventional sense, almost no repetitions, no exit applause — just a quiet, symbolist drama of love, jealousy and fate, half-hidden in forests and towers.
Why this production at the Staatsoper Berlin
This is, quite seriously, the piece the Staatskapelle Berlin was built to play. The orchestra's dark, transparent sound is exactly the instrument Debussy wrote for. At the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, the pit is close enough to the stage that the singers can speak-sing in the quiet way the music demands.
What to expect in Berlin
This is not the opera to take a Wagner-sceptical first-timer to. It is the opera to see once your ear has been trained on Mozart and Puccini and you are ready to be unsettled. Berlin audiences — famously patient — give Pelléas the attention it requires.
