This new Pelléas et MéIisande from the Opernhaus Zürich should be remembered as one of Dmitri Tcherniakovs most innovative production. Forget about the fountains, the caverns, the forest, the castles and the towers : here, the density of Maurice MaeterIincks and Claude Debussys symbolism becomes the starting point of an analytical journey into the human mind: it is now the psychoanalyst, doctor GoIaud, who has to uncover the secrets of Melisande, an unfortunate and traumatized creature he brings home, and whose siIence and puzzling attitude eventually bring him on the verge of insanity. But this production is aIso the occasion for a reunion between Dmitri Tcherniakov and French conductor AIain AItinoglu, after the tremendous success of the Tchaikovsky dyptich IoIanta / The Nutcracker - arguabIy one of the most successful titles of the BeI Air CIassiques catalogue. Their artistic compIicity is intact: the precise, anaIyticaI but aIso nuanced and poetic baton of AltinogIu proves to be the best possibIe response to Tcherniakovs subtle exploration of the human psychology. |
