Debussy based his only completed opera on the play by the Belgian poet and playwright Maurice Maeterlinck.
Pelleas is one of Simon Keenlyside's most celebrated roles and the husband and wife duo of Natalie Dessay and Laurent Naouri take the other central roles of Melisande and Golaud.
When Debussy came to write Pelleas he was keen not to write an opera like the typical 19th century classics which preceded him. "The drama of Pelleas", he wrote "contains far more humanity than those so-called "real-life" documents".
