Cocktails followed by Debussy's Pelléas and Mélisande*

* If you can't go to see the full-length version at the La Opera, running from March 25 till April 16, this is the next best thing. Plus, join us for pre-theater drinks at the bar at The Venue, 3470 Wilshire Blvd #B1 at 5:00 sharp. We'll need to leave at 6:15 to get to The Ebell.

Based on an enchanting story about a love triangle and an elusive woman found in the forest, Impressions de Pelléas is an abbreviated version of Debussy’s original five-act opera, Pelléas and Mélisande, reimagined on a chamber scale for two pianists and five singers. Under the baton of world-renowned conductor and music director at LA Opera, James Conlon, and performed by artists from LA Opera’s Domingo-Colburn-Stein Young Artist Program and the Colburn School, the story flows seamlessly across 100 minutes of ethereal music. Conceived as an intimate performance experience, Impressions of Pelléas is presented in a beautiful salon setting on the historic stage at The Ebell of Los Angeles.

Approximately one hour prior to the start of the performance, James Conlon, whose pre-performance lectures have become events almost as highly anticipated as his musical presentations, will present a deep dive into the French composer Claude Debussy and explore his only opera.
