The 7th Vicenza Opera Festival, organised by the Budapest Festival Orchestra, took place in October 2023. As part of the event, a pop-up exhibition entitled PASSAGE was set up in the Teatro Olimpico, the world's oldest stone theatre, designed by the Palladio. The programme featured Debussy's only opera, Palleas and Melisande, which set the action in a forest with a magical atmosphere. The lush green space built in front of the age-old stage set dating back to 1582, had a special feel.

For this occasion, I designed a new limited edition collection, the DEBUSSY series, made up of finely cut gemstones with silver and partly gold-plated settings evoking abstract floral ornamentation, inspired by the pastel-coloured, softly floating atmosphere of the opera.
