Opera #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Eclipse collection brings together four distinct comic adaptations of classic operatic and orchestral works: Wagner's Parsifal and Strauss's Salome, alongside Mahler's symphonic song cycle and Debussy's Pelleas & Melisande. Each story is rendered in a graphic format that interprets the original compositions through sequential art, offering a visual companion to these celebrated pieces of classical music. The volume serves as a unique crossover between opera and comics, presenting these works in a single collected edition from the early 1990s Opera series.
"Parsifal Part I: His Journey" delivers a haunting, visually rich adaptation of a classic myth, anchored by P. Craig Russell’s masterful art and storytelling. In this evocative tale, Golaud brings Melisande to his grandfather’s kingdom, where her quiet presence ignites a deep bond with Pelleas—setting the stage for a quiet storm of longing and tension. The story unfolds with the distinctive elegance of Russell’s penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering, all unified under his singular creative hand, while the cover by Russell captures the mood with striking, atmospheric detail.
In this haunting tale from Opera #[nn], Jo encounters Melisande after a chance meeting, and their lives intertwine when he brings her to his grandfather’s kingdom. There, Melisande’s quiet presence stirs something deep in Pelleas, and an unspoken bond begins to form—tension simmering beneath the surface as old family ties and new emotions collide.
