Pelléas et Mélisande is an opera in five acts with music by the French composer
Claude Debussy. The French-language
libretto was adapted from
Maurice Maeterlinck's symbolist play Pelléas and Mélisande. The plot concerns a love triangle between Prince Golaud, Mélisande (a mysterious young woman he had found lost in a forest), and Golaud's younger half-brother Pelléas. The only opera Debussy ever completed, Pelléas et Mélisande premiered on 30 April 1902 at the
Salle Favart in Paris, performed by the
Opéra-Comique, with
Jean Périer as Pelléas and
Mary Garden as Mélisande. The premiere was conducted by
André Messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work. This poster by the French painter
Georges Rochegrosse was produced for the premiere.Poster credit:
