情节

Golaud在森林打猎的时候迷路，遇上一神秘而美丽的少女Mélisande。她既没说自己来自哪里，也没说为什么自己会在森林里。但她同意跟Golaud走。几个月后，Golaud写信给自己的兄弟Pelléas，说自己要跟Mélisande结婚。并请Pelléas征求祖父Arkël的意见，若祖父同意，Pelléas则会在一个灯塔上亮灯，示意Golaud可以回来。Arkël同意了婚事。

后来Golaud和Mélisande回来，一天晚上，Mélisande遇上Pelléas，两人在一口名叫盲人井的地方玩。Mélisande的头发长得可以碰到井里的水。Pelléas试图阻止Mélisande玩弄结婚戒指，不小心将戒指掉到井里了。就在同一瞬间，Golaud在森林里打猎堕马受伤。当Mélisande在Golaud床边的时候，突然哭起来，说要离开这个阴森寒冷的城堡。Golaud安慰她的时候发现戒指不见了，大怒，要她立刻去把戒指找回来。Pelléas陪同前往，但三个白发乞丐吓退了Mélisande。

一个星光照耀的晚上，在城堡一个塔楼，Mélisande一边梳头一边唱歌。这时Pelléas已对她深深着迷，他受明天就要离开，希望Mélisande能把头发垂下来让他玩。Golaud上前责怪他们俩。遇到后来Golaud与发现不对头，警告Pelléas，自己不是傻子，要Pelléas有多远去多远，Mélisande已有新孕。同时他又怀疑自己与前妻所生的儿子Yniold站在情敌那边。

Pelléas要走了，他安排了一次在盲人井与Mélisande的最后见面，两人此时互诉衷情。当两人拥抱时，在旁偷看的Golaud约了出来，杀死了Pelléas。Mélisande逃走。

Golaud和Arkël在Mélisande的床边，后者刚把孩子生下来。Golaud请求原谅，并没要求Mélisande坦白。Mélisande说这一切以太晚了。但Arkël劝Golaud离Mélisande远点，说“知人口面不知心”。Mélisande断气了。Arkël一边安慰Golaud一边说：“这孩子取代了他母亲，现在轮到他了。”

Claude Debussy
PELLÉAS ET MÉLISANDE
Opernhaus Zürich, 2004


Soloists: Rodney Gilfry, Isabel Rey, Michael Volle
Orchestra, Chorus: Chor und Orchester der Oper Zürich
Conductor: Franz Welser-Möst
Director: Sven-Eric Bechtolf


A mysteroius childlike woman, a murder by jealousy, an orphan: Debussy’s Pelléas et Méllisande, his only completed opera, is full of magical, cryptical and deeply symbolic moments. With this work Debussy added quite literally a new dimension to the 1893 stage play of the same name by Belgian playwriter and poet, Maurice Maeterlinck, who was to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1911. Rodney Gilfry, a leading American opera baritone whos vocal excellence has been repeatedly extolled by many leading music critics, is Pelléas. Praised by the San Francisco Chronicle for his “rich, rolling baritone with a superb upper range,” as well as his “vivid stage presence,” Rodney Gilfry has established himself as a most compelling musician on the world’s operatic stages. By his side Isabel Rey, internationally recognised for her exquisite vocal technique and her sensitive acting skills, is Mélisande. Due to her crystal-clear soprano and the winterly stage setting the cold dream-world of the subconscious emerges to the audience. Because of the fabulous soloist and a distinguished cast this opera promises outstanding listening pleasure. Under Franz Welser-Möst’s fabulous conducting this production of the Zurich Opera House is setting musical standards. Welser- Möst is ecxeptionally talented and internationally known as one of the outstanding personalities in the field of classical music. In conjunction with the director Sven-Eric Bechtolf, he has developed into one of the leading teams in contemporary music theater.
