Don Quichotte, the last opera composed by Jules Massenet, will return to the Opéra national de Paris from 10 May to 11 June 2024, after a 20-year absence. Damiano Michieletto‘s new production of Don Quichotte at the Opéra Bastille has been through quite a few upheavals. After the defection of Ildar Abdrazakov and Ildebrando D’Arcangelo, who were due to alternate in the title role, there was another change of cast. Gaëlle Arquez now performs as La Belle Dulcinée in place of Marianne Crebassa for all performances, while Christian Van Horn and Gábor Bretz take it in turns to conquer the windmills.
