In this episode, we explore Debussy's only opera, Pelléas et Mélisande! Debussy may have intended to write the ultimate anti-opera, but the music is one of the most amazing things ever created. It is dark, moody, and tragic. It's about everything and nothing all at the same time. What does it all mean? Is it all a timeless mystery?
