I'm an unashamed deletionist. I'd be an inclusionist if there weren't already far too many of the feckers going completely overboard. You'll often find me on AfD advocating the deletion of absolutely everything. Having said that, I'm not above attempting the occasional Cleanup.
I'm engaged in an ongoing project to replace inappropriate links to rock and roll with links to Rock (music). The way I see it, people who think that all music written after 1959 is "rock 'n' roll" probably shouldn't be writing about music at all....
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: Georges Rochegrosse; restored by Adam Cuerden
