Don Quixote

Streaming video - 2023

Don Quixote is that rare thing in ballet: a comedy that has survived the centuries. It’s a happy, chaotic mash-up that somehow works, blending the fire and dash of flamenco, the bawdy slapstick of commedia dell’arte, gilded ballerinas drifting through a dreamland and the grandest of grand pas de deux. For both dancers and audiences, the contrast of its styles is the essence of its appeal.
