I am sure I could find people to argue with me about this, but I think Pelléas et Mélisande is such a strange opera that there really is no wrong way to stage it. There certainly is no literal way to stage it! This work becomes whatever the listener/viewer makes of it.

Keris9 at Opera Journal just reviewed this production from La Monnaie-De Munt,
Brussels. It will only be available for streaming from the opera company
website till May 24, so I decided to get out this notice and link to the review
now, instead of waiting till I can review it myself.
Go watch it now! We
can talk about it later.
