Pelléas et Mélisande. Stage direction, set and lighting design by Robert Wilson. Opéra Bastille, 28 February (premiere), 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 15 March 2012
The great master of American avant-garde theatre Robert Wilson, a minimalist and 'maximalist' in one, belongs to the directors who do not create a new world for each work they interpret, preferring to transpose it to that of their own - which, in this case, has been known for forty-odd years as the Universe of Robert Wilson and is available in a single copy. This is a unique world of light and magic in which people move, an experience that has to be witnessed at least once.
The new production of the Pelléas et Mélisande opera, an Impressionist masterpiece by Claude Debussy, is a joint effort by the Paris Opera and the Salzburg Festival and features Stéphane Degout as Pelléas and Elena Tsallagova as Mélisande.
