Pelléas et Mélisande

2020


s

This production of Debussy’s only opera, Pelléas et Mélisande, presents a new concept of abstract staging where the entire scene is formed by a concave mirror, creating the impression of being inside a silver eye ball.

Commissioned for Opera Vlaanderen, Brambilla’s staging employs surreal celestial imagery to craft a metaphysical journey through themes of loneliness, violence, drama, resolution, and death. The abstract video backdrop transforms the opera into a psychological portal, immersing viewers in the subconscious realms of its characters.
