Pelléas et mélisande (Pelleas and Melisande) is an opera in five acts with music by Claude Debussy. The French libretto was adapted from Maurice Maeterlinck's Symbolist play-pelléas et mélisande. It premiered at the Opéra-Comique in Paris on 30 April 1902 with Jean Périer-as-Pelleas and Mary Garden as Melisande in a performance conducted by André messager, who was instrumental in getting the Opéra-Comique to stage the work. The only opera Debussy ever completed, it is considered a landmark in 20th-century music.
