A fanciful play for children by Belgian author Maurice Maeterlinck, The Blue Bird was published as L’Oiseau bleu in 1908 and first produced in Moscow in 1908. In a setting reminiscent of fairy tales, Tyltyl and Mytyl, the son and daughter of a poor woodcutter, are sent out by the Fairy Berylune to search the world for the Blue Bird of Happiness. After many adventures, they find it in their own backyard.
