 Fauré's works of the last years of the century include incidental music for the English premiere of Maurice Maeterlinck's "Pelléas et Mélisande" (1898) and "Prométhée", a lyric tragedy composed for the amphitheatre at Béziers.Written for outdoor performance, the work is scored for huge instrumental and vocal forces.Its premiere in August 1900 was a great success, and it was revived at Béziers the following year and in Paris in 1907.
