EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Act I, Scene 3 of Claude Debussy's renowned opera, Pelleas et Melisande. Taken during the first production in April 1902 at the Opera-Comique in Paris, this image showcases the intricate set design by Eugene Ronsin. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the enchanting castle grounds where Queen Genevieve, Melisande, and Pelleas interact. The attention to detail is evident as we observe the medieval-inspired decor and lush bouquet of flowers adorning the stage. The French School lithograph beautifully portrays a moment filled with drama and emotion. The three main characters are depicted with great intensity - Queen Genevieve played by Jeanne Gerville-Reache exudes regality while Melisande portrayed by Mary Garden emanates an air of mystery. Jean Perier brings life to his role as Pelleas through his passionate performance. A notable element within this scene is a statue resembling Madonna that adds an ethereal touch to the overall ambiance. This carefully crafted composition transports us into a world where music intertwines with theatrical artistry. Debussy's Pelleas et Melisande remains one of his most significant contributions to musical history. As we gaze upon this historic photograph from its inaugural production over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of Debussy's genius and enduring legacy in opera composition.
