SUMMARY:Staatskapelle Berlin 1570 – Debussy: Pelléas et Mélisande
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWith the world premiere of Pelléas et Mélisande in 1902, Claude Debussy challenged his contemporaries to listen to music in a new way. His instrumentation was without precedent. He transposed the Wagnerian leitmotif technique into a subtle tone painting and described atmospheres and dispositions of the soul that elude description and that even music is often only able to gesture towards.\n\n\nThe opera is based on a drama of the same name by the Flemish symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck that tells the tragic, fairytale-like story of a love triangle between the stepbrothers Golaud and Pelléas and the mysterious Mélisande. The plot is sketched in vague terms, with the main emphasis on exploring the depths of the characters’ psyches. The tragedy takes the form not of open conflict but of subliminal mental processes. Debussy’s music remains equally restrained, often approaching silence. Myriad colours shimmer beneath the monochrome surface, however, and Debussy manages to perfectly translate the enigmatic, morbid atmosphere into music. In 1991, Ruth Berghaus, one of the greatest directors of the 20th century, staged Pelléas et Mélisande at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPelléas et Mélisande\n\n\nDrame lyrique in five acts (1902)\nMusic by Claude Debussy\nText by Maurice Maeterlinck\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuration: approx. 3:15 h including one interval after act three\nLanguage: In French language with German and English surtitles\nRecommended age: 14 years and older\n\nPre-performance lecture, 45 minutes prior to each performance (in german)\nAge recommendation: as of 14 years\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCast\n \n\nMusical Director:\n\nFrançois-Xavier Roth\n\n\nDirector:\n\nRuth Berghaus\n\n\nRevival director, assistant director:\n\nKatharina Lang\n\n\nSet Design, Costumes:\n\nHartmut Meyer\n\n\nChorus Master:\n\nChristian Jost\n\n\nArkel:\n\nStephen Milling\n\n\nGeneviève:\n\nAnne Sofie von Otter\n\n\nPelléas:\n\nGyula Orendt\n\n\nGolaud:\n\nSimon Keenlyside\n\n\nMélisande:\n\nMagdalena Kožená\n\n\nYniold:\n\nSolist des Tölzer Knabenchors\n\n\nDoctor, Shepherd:\n\nDavid Oštrek\n\n\n\n\n\nStaatsopernchor\n\nStaatskapelle Berlin\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
