Russian State Ballet and Opera House

Featuring an impressive cast and accompanied by a large live Orchestra with over 30 musicians.

Directed and choreographed by former Bolshoi Theatre Ballet Dancer, Konstantin Uralsky.

Ludwig Minkus' score, created for Marius Petipa, is full of Spanish flair and atmosphere.

The adventures of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza. Don Quixote delights in stories of brave knights, fabulous giants and other fantastical creatures. But most of all, he dreams of his beloved Dulcinea, a woman that he believes to be so lovely and noble that she must be divine. His reveries are of their romantic adventures.

Love, duels and spectacular choreography are mixed with a dash of Spanish passion in this most beautiful and moving ballet.

Don Quixote has all the elements of the great classical ballets: emotion, drama and unforgettable characters.
