His IMPRESSIONS DE PELLEAS in his wonderful Bouffes du Nord space in Paris (and touring) was wonderful. He even solved the hair scene in a convincing way. Two pianos (arr Marius Constant) and two casts with superb Asian Melisandes, Tom Randle Roger Soyer etc.
As a fanatical ‘pelleastre’ I should have hated the cuts but it was very special in so many ways.
