New Condensed Studio Production for Opera Australia

This ingenious soupçon of Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande has all the makings of a five-star night at the opera…Full marks to director Edwina Strobl (also a member of this year’s OA Young Artist cohort)…for successfully capturing the trajectory of Pelléas and Mélisande’s forbidden love...

Strobl’s directorial sleight of hand is impressive, and with only a handful of props cobbled together from a French Opera Scenes presentation earlier in the week, she delivers a potent drama that has the audience gripped…successfully conveying the opera’s condensed narrative under Strobl’s ingenious direction.
