The Ghent-born playwright Maurice Maeterlinck is the only Belgian to have won the Nobel Prize for Literature to date. His work has inspired many composers: Debussy, Schönberg and Sibelius, among others, have all set his symbolist play Pelléas et Mélisande to music. The most popular version is Gabriel Fauré’s, who composed a poetic score for this wondrous fairytale about two star-crossed lovers. The actors will bring the fantastical world of Maeterlinck and Fauré to life on the stage of the Queen Elisabeth Hall. A unique performance in which the Antwerp Symphony gives the centuries-old combination of theatre and music a new lease of life.
