A performance of the magical Pelléas et Mélisande, Debussy's sole operatic masterpiece.
Set to a libretto adapted by Maurice Maeterlinck from his own play, Debussy's only opera develops with a mystical fluidity which allows the tragic love-triangle to unfold without resorting to set pieces or outbursts of vocal histrionics.
Puccini - who rather liked the work - aptly described Pelléas as 'sombre and pure, like a Franciscan's habit'.
