"I don't know many composers for whom [Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande] is not their favourite opera… it has this multidimensional effect, like looking at a crystal" says Ryan Wigglesworth in The Guardian.

After narrating Prokofiev's ‘Peter and the Wolf’ earlier this season in Glasgow, we're delighted to reunite with award-winning actor Rory Kinnear (star of James Bond, The Diplomat, Bank of Dave) at the 2026 Aldeburgh Festival this week, alongside Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth.

In a recent Financial Times interview, Kinnear reflects that "in spending time with this work, I have discovered Debussy's shimmering effects are also the opera's ache: any minute its light can be engulfed by the dark waves on which it plays. It reminds me of Macbeth, where Shakespeare's most exquisitely sublime poetry bewitches us into destruction."

Kinnear directs ‘Pelléas et Mélisande’ on 12 & 13 June and returns on 15 June to narrate Britten's ‘Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra’ for a performance welcoming local schools and communities alongside the public.
