Dance Appreciation Series: Introduction to Don Quixote is an hour-long special created for young audiences. Join us and learn more about Don Quixote through excerpts from the original full-length classical ballet!
Set in Spain, Don Quixote tells a story of love, betrayal, and eternal devotion written by Miguel de Cervantes.
Kitri has fallen in love with Basilio, a poor young barber. However, Kitri’s father has every intention on marrying her off to the wealthy fop, Gamache. In Kitri and Basilio’s attempt to run away, they meet Don Quixote, an old knight, and his faithful companion, Sancho Panza.
This dazzling, humorous and virtuosic ballet sets out on a series of chivalrous acts, whimsical twists, and proof that love conquers all. Don Quixote is a glittering showstopper, with sparkling technique and an incredible cast of toreadors, flamenco dancers, and dryads.
There will also be a meet-and-greet photo session with the cast after the performance, so come dressed in your favourite costumes!
