This is the second ballet I have been to and was truly amazed by the performance, as was my girlfriend who was going for the first time. The costume and set design were as vibrant as the dancing and musical score. It was a pleasure to take in the sights and sounds flowing within a very simple story punctuated by humor.
A few interesting notes- Don Quixote himself is a very minor character in the production. In fact, he does not even dance. After reading the play bill, I learned the production has existed since the late 1800s, originating in Russia.
This performance is really well suited for anyone- whether you're a first timer or not, younger or older audience, I believe you will enjoy Don Quixote.
