Gabriel Fauré’s “Pelléas et Mélisande,” Op. 80, is a suite of incidental music composed in 1898 for Maurice Maeterlinck’s play of the same name. Fauré’s composition is renowned for its delicate and evocative portrayal of the mysterious and tragic atmosphere of Maeterlinck’s symbolist drama. The Prélude sets the mood for the entire piece, creating an otherworldly atmosphere and introducing listeners to the ethereal and melancholic world of Pelléas et Mélisande.
