EspañolPELLéAS ET MéLISANDE (PLAY)
(Redirected from Melisande)
'''Pelléas et Mélisande''' (1892) is a famous Symbolist play by Maurice Maeterlinck about the forbidden, doomed love of the title characters.
The play has been the basis of several pieces of music. Perhaps the best known is the impressionist opera by Claude Debussy. Earlier, in 1898, Gabriel Fauré had written incidental music for the play, from which he later extracted a suite. Jean Sibelius also wrote incidental music for it in 1905. The story is also the basis of Arnold Schoenberg's early symphonic poem ''Pelleas und Melisande'' of 1902-03.
Mélisande refers to the story recounted in Heine's ''Geoffrey Rudel und Melisande in Tripoli'' and ''Jehuda ben Halevey'' (source: ''Notes and Queries'', Nov. 11, 1905, p. 393.)
