Pelleas et Melisande 2015 Directed by Peter Sellars
Berliner Philharmoniker
Thriller, intimate play, relationship drama: Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande is all that and much more. The New York Times wrote about this performance with Simon Rattle: “The result exceeds even the expectations raised by the Bach Passions. Peter Sellars perfectly conveys the human essence of Maurice Maeterlinck's drama. The singers are as great as one could wish for.
