Boston Early Music Festival to Premiere Telemann's Don Quichotte This Thanksgiving Weekend
This Thanksgiving weekend, the esteemed Boston Early Music Festival (BEMF) Chamber Opera Series is set to unveil a new and captivating rendition of Georg Philipp Telemann's opera, "Don Quichotte." This exciting production promises to bring Cervantes's iconic tale of the eccentric knight to vivid life through a combination of beautiful costumes, exquisite Baroque dance, and enchanting music.
The premiere will take place over several performances, starting on Saturday, November 30, and Sunday, December 1, in Boston. Following these dates, a concert version will take place on December 3 at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City, culminating in a final staged representative on December 7 at the historic Troy Savings Bank Music Hall in Troy, NY. For those unable to attend in person, a virtual presentation will be made available from December 15 to December 29, ensuring that the production's magic reaches a wider audience.
The opera narrates the adventures of the misguided knight Don Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. In this festive serenata, their journey leads them to the idyllic wedding of the wealthy Comacho and the beautiful Quiteria. However, the joyful celebration is soon threatened by Quiteria's childhood sweetheart, Basilio, igniting a series of humorous and dramatic events.
The production involves an impressive lineup of talented individuals including the GRAMMY-winning musical directors Paul O'Dette and Stephen Stubbs. Their artistic collaboration with internationally acclaimed director Gilbert Blin, along with concertmaster Robert Mealy and choreographer Marie-Nathalie Lacoursière, promises an impactful transfer of this classic work to the stage.
