Jules Massenet - Comédie héroique in five acts - Libretto by Henri Cain!
With DON QUICHOTTE, Jules Massenet has set a musical monument on the opera stage to a subject of world literature. In the world of the title hero everything is possible, there windmill wings become giants, he takes on a horde of bandits and the beautiful Dulcinea returns his love. But the "Knight of the Sad Figure" must realize that his dreams have no place in the reality of the others.
The "Comédie heroique" DON QUICHOTTE, premiered in Monte Carlo in 1910, is Massenet's penultimate contribution to musical theatre and in many respects a work about old age and death: the 68-year-old composer himself was marked by illness and, lying in bed, put the music on paper. Not only with Don Quixote dying of a broken heart Massenet asks at the end of life how it is possible to turn dreams of one's own happiness into reality. With the dazzling figure of Dulcinea, he also tells how the fear of transience hides behind a facade of supposedly pure joie de vivre.

Info: Deutsche Oper Berlin
On November 7, 1912, the Deutsches Opernhaus was inaugurated with FIDELIO and, in the following decades, served as a stage especially for Puccini's and Wagner's works. The house has remained faithful to the democratic ideal of a citizen opera after its destruction in World War II: Fritz Bornemann's new building, opened in 1961, is intended as a framework for a modern music theatre, which can be experienced from all seats as a total work of art.
