Claude Debussy 's fairy tale-based opera pelléas et mélisande is by now well known; at-once-a tale of doomed love and a meditation on the cycle of creation and destruction (adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck's 1893 symbolist play), it originally premiered in 1902 to mixed critical reception, but has since become a staple of the operatic repertory and one of the most popular works from Debussy' s canon. This particular produktion emerged from the Opernhaus Zürich in 2004. It stars Rodney Gilfry as Pelleas, Isabel Rey as Melisande and Michael Volle as Golaud. Franz Welser-Möst conducts the Zurich Opera Orchestra; Sven-Eric Bectholf direkten for the stage.
