Master Peter's Puppet Show

Manuel de Falla composed Master Peter's Puppet Show from an episode of Cervantes' Don Quixote, which depicts Don Quixote watching a puppet play. The subject is a medieval story about Don Gayferos, a knight at Charlemagne's court, who frees his wife Melisendra, who was held captive by the Moors of Saragosa. Master Peter calls the audience to attention, then the play is presented in six concise scenes, each introduced by the trujamán, a boy herald. Don Quixote interrupts with notes about the boy's narration and in the final scene, as the Moors chase the escaping couple, he stops the followers with his sword, destroying the puppets and the whole set. In the end, he sings of his own love for Dulcinea, while Master Peter cries over the broken theatre. Written in 1923 for opera singers, chamber orchestra and puppet theatre, Master Peter's Puppet Show brought fame to De Falla and has been staged all over the world, remaining to this day a popular title.
