About this Concert

“She was such a quiet creature, wrapped in mystery as we all are…” In an ancient castle by a darkening sea, the princess Mélisande falls in love – and unlocks passions as deadly as they are beautiful. Moving, mysterious and heartbreakingly gorgeous, Debussy’s 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’ve only heard it in the theatre, you haven’t heard it all, and this concert performance will bring out every shimmer and sigh of Debussy’s 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.
