El Retablo de Maese Pedro from the series “Cervantine Stories, Quixotic Moments.” El Retablode Maese Pedro (Master Peter's Puppet Show) is a puppet ­opera composed by Manuel de Falla (1876­-1946) to a Spanish libretto based on chapter 26 of the second part of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.

Falla composed this opera 'in devoted homage to the glory of Miguel de Cervantes' and dedicated it to the Princess de Polignac, who commissioned the work.

In the opera, Don Quixote is watching a puppet play: A medieval story of love and quarrels between Moors and Christians, in which Don Gayferos, a knight at Charlemagne's court frees his wife Melisendra, who was held captive by the Moors.

The opera will be sung in Spanish with supertitles in English.

Members of Unitas Ensemble will be conducted by guest conductor and series’ Artistic Director Benjamín Juárez.

Puppeteers: John Bell, Trudi Cohen, Pablo Cueto and Carmen Solís.

Soprano: Marisa Canales.

Baritone: Hector Vasquez.

Tenor: David Evans.

A musical spectacle from the series Cervantine Stories, Quixotic Moments to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of Part II of Don Quixote de la Mancha (1615­-2015).
