The Blue Bird for Happiness
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating theatrical production based on the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck's eponymous play, first produced at the Haymarket Theatre in London on December 8, 1909. This image captures a moment from the New York City staging of the play, which took place in October 1910 at the New Theatre. The production, translated by A. Texeira de Mattos, marked Maeterlinck's American debut. Maeterlinck's symbolic and allegorical work tells the story of Prince Rosillon and his quest for eternal happiness, represented by the Blue Bird. The ancient folklore and popular entertainment elements of the play resonated with audiences, making it a theatrical sensation in Europe. The Blue Bird for Happiness made its way to the United States, where it was met with anticipation. However, the New York run, which took place from October 24 to November 6, 1910, resulted in a heavy loss for the production. Despite the financial setback, the image showcases the beauty and intrigue of the Blue Bird's appearance on the New York stage. The Blue Bird, with its ethereal and enchanting presence, stands as a symbol of the elusive yet desirable pursuit of happiness. This image is a testament to the enduring power of theatrical art and the timeless nature of the human quest for joy and contentment. This photograph, taken during the New York production, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the Blue Bird graced the stage and captivated audiences with its ancient folklore and symbolic allure. The image is a reminder of the rich theatrical history that continues to inspire and entertain us today.
