Claude Debussy’s realization of the ancient Melusine myth, exploring the timeless struggle of light against darkness. Mélisande, fleeing one dark land, is carried off by a similarly tormented prince, Golaud, to bring the light to his own benighted country. Can Mélisande help Golaud master his beastly self, or does Golaud become the monster that Pelléas must slay? Can Mélisande bring balance to the kingdom by giving birth to the light, or will she fail as Geneviève has? Is this a story of Voyage and Return, or the Tragedy of Rebirth?”
