This article explores the manner in which the opera creates a musical portrait of the main character and presents an interpretation of the opera’s narrative. The analysis is conducted on two levels, textual (the libretto) and musical (the score). The conclusion, apart from its summarizing function, offers an answer to the question about the attractiveness of the Don Quixote theme for musical adaptations.}, type={Artykuł}, title={An operatic transposition of the Don Quixote theme: Literary and musical narration in Don Quichotte by Jules Massenet}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/127068/PDF/2022-05-RL-08.pdf}, doi={10.24425/rl.2022.142995}, keywords={Miguel de Cervantes (1547–1616), Don Quixote and Don Quichotte, literature and music, opera, libretto, Jules Massenet (1842–1912)}, }
