This article presents information about the opera "Pelléas Et Mélisande," by the Metropolitan Opera Company. When the opera was introduced to New York on February 19, 1908, at Oscar Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera House, the case was different. The main importance of this play lies in the fact of its being a departure from Metropolitan routine. Every once in a while, no matter who the manager, the Metropolitan indulges in just such an excursion. The Metropolitan has an enormous active repertory. No other opera house has equaled in that respect. And yet his repertory, huge though it is, neither comprehends so much nor balances so nicely as it might.
