Don Quichotte is a comedy in five acts by Henri Cain, after “Le Lorrain”, with a music by J. Massenet. This special edition features pictures of the Monte Carlo theatre in 1910, texts in French and music for Piano and Voice with French lyrics.

Act 3: In the Sierra (Dans la Sierra)
Act 4: The patio of the beautiful lady (Le patio de la belle Dulcinée)

This comedy was well-acclaimed when first played in Monte Carlo. It was then taken to Paris to be played at the Theatre of the Gaîeté Lyrique.

J. Massenet wrote thirty famous operas which include 'Werther' and 'Thais', also edited as special collection by Alphonse Leduc.
