The Carter Family Marionettes are joined by an ensemble of outstanding musicians and singers for this unique production of Don Quixote.

George Philipp Telemann's Don Quixote Suite is a well known instrumental delight. Rarely seen, however, is his one act operetta, in which the chivalrous Don and the earthy Sancho Panza attend and disrupt a shepherd's wedding. These two works are combined by Carter Family Marionettes and Maestra di Musica, Margriet Tindemanns. Sancho Panza's aria to his donkey and the attack on the windmills are among the treats to be dished up by hand-carved marionettes and our beloved musical collaborators. This is our 10th live opera, with nearly a decade of these unique and challenging presentations at the Northwest Puppet Center.
