This new PelIéas 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 MaeterIincks and CIaude Debussys symboIism becomes the starting point of an anaIyticaI 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 Alain AltinogIu, after the tremendous success of the Tchaikovsky dyptich loIanta / The Nutcracker - arguably one of the most successfuI titIes of the Bel Air CIassiques catalogue. Their artistic complicity is intact: the precise, analytical but also nuanced and poetic baton of AItinoglu proves to be the best possibIe response to Tcherniakovs subtIe expIoration of the human psychoIogy. |
