Manuel de Falla’s puppet opera, “El retablo de maese Pedro” (1923)
As part of the ongoing celebration of the IV Centennial of the publication of Part II of Cervantes’s “Don Quixote de la Mancha” (1615-2015), Voces Hispánicas/Hispanic Voices cordially invites you to a performance of Manuel de Falla’s puppet opera, “El retablo de maese Pedro” (1923). It is based on a famous episode of Part II in which Don Quixote ends up believing that the puppet show he is watching is real and proceeds, sword in hand, to attack the puppets.
