  (3) DEBUSSY: Pelléas & Mélisande, an opera in five acts

  "The drama of Pelléas which, despite its dream-like atmosphere, contains far more humanity than those so-called 'real-life documents', seemed to suit my intentions admirably. In it there is an evocative language whose sensitivity could be extended into music and into the orchestral backdrop"

  Debussy writing after first seeing the Symbolist play written by Maurice Maeterlinck about doomed love and the cycle of creation and destruction. Mélisande falls in love with her husband's brother and only revenge and death can restore order
