Musical Interlude: OK, here's something different. De Falla's "El Retablo de Maese Pedro" is an actual puppet opera, not often performed...and sometimes, as seen here, it's done with humans standing in for the puppets. It dramatizes a scene from "Don Quixote" where the hero, unable to tell the difference from fantasy and reality, disrupts a puppet show....
"El Retablo de Maese Pedro," composed by Manuel de Falla, performed by the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal.

Just finished the epic Don Quixote, the Edith Grossman translation. Very entertaining and readable. After a month of being immersed in tales of knights errant I will miss the company of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire Sancho Panza.

Gustave Doré probably spotted that hidden head many years before I found it.
Segments from:
