Title: Nonsense
Review: I don't mind updated productions of operas provided they make sense. This Pelleas is ridiculous. Why any director would take a symbolist work and try to symbolize symbols...does NOT make sense to me. Debussy spent a long time on this score, and painted every sound and action into the score. But what we have here, is a musical depiction of a fountain while drinking a glass of water. Characters stare into space, or seemingly talk to themselves and walk about like zombies. Pelleas is such a beautiful work. Debussy and Maeterlinck did a great job...why do thay want to spoil things?
