For the 110th anniversary of the composer Jules Massne's creation of the opera Don Quixote(libretto by Henri Caen). The role of Don Quixote was written specifically for Russian singer Fyodor Chaliapin, with whom Massenet had friendly relations
Heroes in knight armor
gone in the old days,
but Don Quixote and Dulcinea
live and will live for centuries.
Love and chivalry are mobile.
As if the words were not bookish,
but everyone knows from an early age,
that the book leaves a mark.
I almost forgot Don Quixote,
and Dulcinea forgot.
And he remembered them, when he saw
as with the lady, Don was gallant.
But not in La Mancha, not in Madrid,
not in El Toboso, but here, closer.
Where the Spirit Slavic, the center of Europe,
where in the ideals of Penelope.
The one that loved Odyssey,
like Don Quixote our Dulcinea.
And here are the other names,
and windmills are not visible,
herds of sheep do not walk,
robbers are not naughty here.
But twigs send everyone hello,
Become a patient.
After all, for all diseases are equal.
And kings and mischievous,
both adults and even children.
What to do? Who is responsible for everything?
Yes, medicine. It helps.
And who plays the most important role in it?
the role of magic to help
the sick cannot be defeated.
To take him out of captivity,
and give freedom, happiness give
be healthy and help
to others ... Like Igor Prince *
sings: - Oh, give, give me freedom!
Yes, yes, about Dr. Svoboda,
what is Pavel calling, I am speaking.
Our Pavel Ist Don Quixote:
brave, noble. Good
In it the main patient reward:
talent and professionalism
impatient -
when to be needed, be urgent!
I understand Don Quixote
four hundred years already wandering
in the hearts of people and souls to us
a noble life.
I have already named one.
Who is next, find yourself.
Yes Dulcinea do not forget.
I found you my example.
To call her is a great honor.
Umna, good quality diva
Barbora Blahova. Beautiful!
And who the patients are,
do not guess? - Sister.
Yes, nurse.
And for the doctor. It is clear too.
Knight armor in mind,
when fairy tales do not help.
Doc Pavel Svoboda, Prague magician,
ready to help
those, who should be healthy.
He is on the lookout with his faithful
Barbora Blahova. They
together work perfectly.
I wish "Happy New Year!" Them.
