About this Concert
鈥淪he was such a quiet creature, wrapped in mystery as we all are鈥︹ In an ancient castle by a darkening sea, the princess M茅lisande falls in love 鈥 and unlocks passions as deadly as they are beautiful. Moving, mysterious and heartbreakingly gorgeous, Debussy鈥檚 opera is woven from delicate emotions and violent rage; from sorrow entwined with wonder, and sounds so lovely that they can tear open your soul.
If you鈥檝e only heard it in the theatre, you haven鈥檛 heard it all, and this concert performance will bring out every shimmer and sigh of Debussy鈥檚 astonishing score. Sophie Bevan and Huw Montague Rendall play the tragic lovers, heading a cast of singers who know and love this music from the inside out.
Please note that there will be one interval.
