Don Quixote

Folger Consort and actors Floyd King and Bob McDonald bring to life the adventures of Don Quixote and his sidekick Sancho Panza in a lively evening of music and readings.

Miguel de Cervantes’ 1605 masterpiece Don Quixote was immediately popular all across Europe and became the source of inspiration for Purcell, D’Urfey, Telemann, and many other composers during the Baroque period and beyond. The music of these masters is performed with dramatic readings from Cervantes’ great work.
