This two-act classical ballet is adapted from one of the most important works in Spanish literature, Don Quixote de la Mancha, written by Miguel de Cervantes in 1605. Adapted by the Cuban choreographer Marina Villanueva, this narrative is mainly inspired by the original version created by the renowned Marius Petipa in 1869 and by the 1988 version of Alicia Alonso, a key figure of classical ballet in the Hispanic-American culture.
Featuring flamboyant dances and romantic pas de deux, Don Quixote ballet follows the lively music of Austrian composer Ludwig Minkus. With lavish set designs and sumptuous costumes, this playful ballet is a true explosion of colors and energy.
