Passion & jealousy…

The forbidden, doomed love of the title characters in Pelléas et Mélisande sets the stage for a symbolic contrast of light, vision & love with darkness, blindness & tragedy.

Mèlisande (Andrea Hill) is taken in by Prince Golaud (Efraín Solís) after she is found lost in the forest, but her desire is enflamed by Golaud’s younger half-brother, Pelléas (John Viscardi). Will passion and jealousy turn deadly for this love triangle?

Claude Debussy’s only opera is a masterpiece that stands apart in all opera – don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
