Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse (Don Quixote at the Duchess') is a comic ballet by the French baroque composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier. Although it is described as a ballet, it is sung throughout with a libretto by Charles Simon Favart. The opera-ballet is based upon an episode in the Cervantes novel Don Quixote, in which a Duke and Duchess amuse themselves by creating an elaborate ruse to fool the title character.
