Don Quijote

Ludwig Minkus

Ludwig Minkus

Don Quijote

The famous knightly story of the eponymous novel by Miguel de Cervantes that depicts the absurd visions and adventures of Don Quijote, follows the original ballet libretto and concentrates on the romantic couple of Kitri and Basil.

Ballet is returning to us after almost quarter of a century. It celebrates the virtuosity and grace in Spanish temperament. The new take on the well-known classical ballet, presented on virtually all stages around the world, offers an exceptional ballet experience – one of the most challenging ones for the dancers, and one of the most beautiful ones for the audience, full of joy and contagious energy.
