Ahead of Longborough Festival Opera's 2025 production of Pelléas et Mélisande, directed by Jenny Ogilvie and conducted by our music director Anthony Negus, this episode unpacks Debussy's ground-breaking opera.

Soprano Kateryna Kasper, who makes her Longborough debut in 2025 with the role of Mélisande, joins baritone Robert Hayward with excerpts from the opera and songs by Debussy; and with musical extracts and discussion from Longborough's Artistic Director Polly Graham, the production's director Jenny Ogilvie, and conductor Anthony Negus.

This was recorded live at an event for Longborough members.
