- Title
Las bodas de Camacho y una relectura del mito de D. Quijote desde versiones operísticas del episodio cervantino.
- Authors

- Abstract
The world of opera is a constantly changing field, even though it is still wrongly accused of being immobile and stagnant. Works with renewed languages and themes do not cease to be composed. Directors experience --sometimes abusively-- with heterodoxical mises-en-scènes, while researchers find lost or forgotten scores that permanently alter the generic canon. In this paper we analyze the case of three operas recovered between 2006 and 2011. These operas were composed between 1760 and 1830 and they refer to the Camacho wedding episode of Don Quixote. I find this issue relevant not only because it has widened the operistic repertoire, but also because of its connection with literary phenomena that cannot be ignored. The examined operas throw new light on the reception of Cervantes' novel and the myth of Don Quixote, which goes far beyond the reading public. It is therefore necessary to consider the literary factors in the wider context of the construction of cultural imaginaries.
