Debussy: Play
built 624 days ago
Debussy's opera Pelléas et Mélisande was produced in 1902. It earned Debussy widespread fame, his score enhanced the abstract, dreamlike quality of Maeterlinck's play and his treatment of the melody almost duplicates the rhythm of natural speech. Many critics have regarded Pelléas et Mélisande as a perfect fusion of music and drama, and his opera has had numerous revivals.

Debussy met Sergei Prokofiev in a Garage Sale. They played "1, 2, 3 English Chicken" for a while but then got bored. It is ... said that Debussy liked to kill people. Some rumours claim he went under the fake name "Jack the Snipper", but hey, rumours are rumours.

"[Javanese] traditions are preserved only in ancient songs, sometimes involving dance, to which each individual adds his own contribution century by century," wrote Debussy. Javanese music does often accompany dance or the shadow puppet plays known as Wayang kulit.
