With DON QUICHOTTE, Jules Massenet created a musical monument to world literature on the opera stage. Anything is possible in the titular hero's world, where windmill blades become giants, he takes on a horde of bandits and the beautiful Dulcinea returns his love. But the "knight of the sad figure" has to realize that his dreams have no place in the reality of others. The "Comédie heroique" DON QUICHOTTE, premiered in Monte Carlo in 1910, is Massenet's penultimate contribution to musical theater and in many respects a work about old age and death: the 68-year-old composer was himself marked by illness and brought the sheet music while lying in bed on paper. Not only with Don Quixote dying of a broken heart, at the end of life, Massenet asks how it can succeed, to make dreams of your own happiness come true. With the dazzling figure of Dulcinea, too, he tells how the fear of transience hides behind a facade of supposedly pure love of life.

DON QUICHOTTE is staged by the Amsterdam-based director, performer and magician Jakop Ahlbom, who is celebrated throughout Europe with his very special form of theatre. His productions combine pantomime, dance, music and illusion in a unique way and thrive on magical, surrealistic, nightmarish images, such as in the pieces VIELFALT [2006], INNENSCHAU [2010], LEBENSRAUM [2012] or most recently HORROR [2018].
