  • Description

    The ballet Don Quixote is based on Miguel de Cervantes' epic novel of the same name. Often regarded as the first modern novel, Cervantes' epic regales the chivalrous adventures of the eccentric nobleman Don Quixote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza. The ballet focuses on one of their adventures, where they help to bring a vivacious young couple, Kitri and Basilio, together. This energetic work, originally choreographed in the 19th century by Marius Petipa, is enlivened by Ludwig Minkus' spirited score. Don Quixote is a wonderful showcase for the virtuosity of The Royal Ballet's Principal dancers, with its joyous ensemble dances and bravura solo roles. Created for The Royal Ballet a decade ago, Carlos Acosta's exuberant production brings the sunshine and charm of Spain to the Main Stage with Tim Hatley's characterful designs.
