The Devil in the Belfry (Le Diable au Beffroi) receives its staged world premiere in Gottingen on 10th and 11th December. The Gottinger Symphonie Orchester is conducted by Christoph-Mathias Mueller with video-installations by Lyoudmila Milanova.

My libretto is based on Debussy's original scenario for a one act comic opera inspired by the E.A.Poe short story. The music has been completed and orchestrated by Robert Orledge, one of the world's leading Debussy experts. It plays in a double bill with Robert's completion of Debussy's other Poe opera, The Fall of the House of Usher.
