The fairy-tale-like story, which stirs the imagination yet never fully yields its secrets, inspired composer Claude Debussy to create an innovative composition that continues to captivate audiences to this day. At its heart, the opera <em>Pell\u00e9as et M\u00e9lisande<\/em> (1902) focuses on two rival brothers, a woman, their desires and\u2014naturally\u2014the tragic ending that both unites them and tears them apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The musical direction is in the hands of the young multi-talented Benjamin Perry Wenzelberg, who also performs one of the piano parts.
