The Blue Bird (French: L'Oiseau bleu ) is a 1908 play by Maurice Maeterlinck. It premiered on 30 September 1908 at Constantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre and has been turned into several films and a TV series. The French composer Albert Wolff wrote an opera (first performed at the N.Y. Metropolitan in 1919) based on Maeterlinck's original play.
The story is about a girl called Mytyl and her brother Tyltyl seeking happiness, represented by The Blue Bird of Happiness , aided by the good fairy Bérylune .
Maeterlinck also wrote a relatively little known sequel to The Blue Bird , entitled The Blue Bird and the Betrothal .
