Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel, Don Quixote is a vibrant ballet that blends classical dance, Spanish flair, and comedic charm. Set to Ludwig Minkus’ lively score, the ballet follows the love story of Kitri and Basilio, whose romance is threatened by her arranged marriage to Gamache. Meanwhile, the delusional Don Quixote embarks on a series of whimsical adventures accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza.
Angel Corella’s interpretation highlights the thrilling, comedic, and romantic elements of the story, from Don Quixote’s windmill battle to a joyful wedding. Filled with dazzling choreography and passionate energy, Don Quixote is a timeless celebration of love and heroism.
