Description
Georgette Leblanc, Madame Maurice Maeterlinck (1875-1941) was a French soprano and author. She was the sister of Maurice Leblanc. She first debuted at the OpA(c)ra- Comique in Paris, in 1893 in La(TM)Attaque du Moulin. She was associated for a time with Greco-Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff. She was the friend and possibly the lover of fellow Gurdjieff student, Margaret Anderson. She was also a friend of Jean Cocteau. Originally slated to perform as MA(c)lisande in Maurice Maeterlinck and Claude Debussya(TM)s Symbolist opera PellA(c)as et MA(c)lisande, she was replaced by Mary Garden.

Her works include: The Choice of Life (1904) and The Childrena(TM)s Blue Bird (1913).
