Yet more about P 'n M. The singing. No choruses. No melodies, no constantly-recurring musical phrases which act as a signature for the opera. Instead, each aria is sung slowly, as if each note is attached to a syllable. More Parsifal than Meistersingers. These slow songs from the members of the court - Melisande ? - contribute to the sense of the stultified court.
