Pelleas Et Melisande Opera Tickets

See one of the most classic operas with Pelleas Et Melisande tickets. Claude Debussy's Pelléas et Mélisande is one of the most performed operas in history and the only opera he ever completed. This beautiful and captivating French masterpiece featured music written for five acts and adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist play with the same moniker. It debuted at Salle Favart back on April 30th, 1902, with Jean Périer as Pelleas and Mary Garden as Melisande, at the Opera-Comique in Paris along with being conducted by the great Andre Messager.

He eventually marries her and brings his new bride back into royalty--but not before tensions flare between him and Pelléas, his younger half-brother, who Melisande starts to fall for.

Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
