"Blue Bird" play by Belgian playwright and poet Maurice Maeterlinck has been staged at Nakhchivan State Music Drama Theatre.

Chairman of the Supreme Assembly of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Vasif Talibov was among the audience watching the performance, Azertac reported.

Following the play Vasif Talibov met with the theater's troupe to congratulate them on the successful performance.

"The Blue Bird" play has been adapted for several films and a TV series. The French composer Albert Wolff wrote an opera based on the 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.

At the end of the play, Tyltyl shows what he has learned about happiness.

Maeterlinck also wrote a relatively little known sequel to The Blue Bird, entitled The Betrothal; or, The Blue Bird Chooses.
