Maeterlinck, the Belgian author, was an outstanding exponent of symbolist drama and the author of “The Blue Bird” and “Pelleas and Melisande,” on which Debussy's great opera was based. Debussy's score retained and enhanced the abstract, dreamlike quality of Materlinck's play and the work is regarded by many as a perfectly wedded fusion of music and drama. Maeterlinck is known particularly for his works of drama and received the Nobel Prize in 1911.
