Programme
The plot
In 1600s Spain, a man fascinated by epic tales of chivalry and scornful of danger, imagines himself to be the knight Don Quixote committed, along with his squire Sancho Panza, to protect the people from injustice… starting from this incipit, author Miguel de Cervantes (played by Lollo Franco) will tell a new adventure of his characters, to the music of the 1746 intermezzo by Giovanni Battista Martini.
