Pelléas et Mélisande, dedicated to Octave Mirbeau "in token of deep friendship, admiration, and gratitude," was first performed at the Bouffes-Parisiens, Paris, on May 17, 1893, with this cast: Pelléas, Mlle.

All was right in his world as he sat with her, reading Maurice Maeterlinck's Alladine and Palomides.
