Subject: PUPT: Master Peter's Puppet Show in Brooklyn


My apologies if this has already been posted to the list, but there was an 
interesting piece on the composer Manuel de Falla and his musical puppet piece, 
"El Retablo de Maese Pedro" in the Arts & Leisure section of yesterday's New 
York Times (February 22).

The show will be part of a concert dedicated to Don Quixote next Saturday 
night, at BAM.

Below is brief info on the show, though the article in the Times itself is 
certainly worth seeking out.

Saturday February 28: "Master Peter's Puppet Show;" Angel Gil-Ordonez 
conducts the Brooklyn Philarmonic Orchestra in an evening  "Celebrating Don Quixote." 
Composer Manuel de Falla's take on the famous attack on a marionette 
performance by Cervantes' mad knight is to be the centerpiece of the show, and all the 
characters in de Falla's short play will be portrayed by puppets. 8 pm; at 
the Brooklyn Academy of Music, 30 Lafayette Avenue, Brooklyn, New York, New 
York.
