Location: Op茅ra Bastille

After Cendrillon, Jules Massenet鈥檚 music is once again in the limelight with Don Quichotte, his last opera 鈥� created in 1910 for the Russian bass Shaliapin 鈥� a work that has not been performed at the Op茅ra Bastille for over 20 years. The composer retained only a few of the main emblematic episodes of Cervantes鈥� lavish novel: Don Quixote鈥檚 love for Dulcinea, his knightly ways that lead him to pursue brigands in order to recover her necklace, his battle with the windmills and his death as he lies beside his servant Sancho Panza. Inspired by this refined and moving music, director Damiano Michieletto鈥檚 new production seeks to reveal the poetry of Don Quixote, but also his suffering. That of a deeply lonely man, haunted by his memories.
