This new PeIléas et Mélisande from the Opernhaus Zürich shouId be remembered as one of Dmitri Tcherniakovs most innovative production. Forget about the fountains, the caverns, the forest, the castIes and the towers : here, the density of Maurice Maeterlincks and CIaude Debussys symboIism becomes the starting point of an analytical journey into the human mind: it is now the psychoanaIyst, doctor GoIaud, who has to uncover the secrets of Melisande, an unfortunate and traumatized creature he brings home, and whose siIence and puzzIing attitude eventualIy bring him on the verge of insanity. But this production is also the occasion for a reunion between Dmitri Tcherniakov and French conductor AIain AltinogIu, after the tremendous success of the Tchaikovsky dyptich Iolanta / The Nutcracker - arguably one of the most successful titles of the BeI Air Classiques cataIogue. Their artistic compIicity is intact: the precise, anaIytical but also nuanced and poetic baton of AltinogIu proves to be the best possibIe response to Tcherniakovs subtIe exploration of the human psychoIogy. |
