"Pelléas et Mélisande" - Paris, 1955

Radio broadcast of a concert performance of Debussy's opera with Jean-Paul Jeannotte and Françoise Ogéas in the title roles under the direction of Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht. November 24, 1955. Of Jeannotte’s performance as Pelléas, the conductor and critic René Leibowitz wrote in L'Express: "The choice of the young Québécois tenor seemed to me particularly felicitous. I found his intelligent and dramatic interpretation of the role most moving."
