The excitement, colour and wit of Cervantes’ masterpiece are perfectly conveyed in Alexei Fadeyechev’s sparkling production of Don Quixote, which received such acclaim during the Company’s last visit to London. In astounding displays of virtuoso dancing, the plot unfolds merrily as the love between Kitri and Basil is challenged by the fruitless attempts of Kitri’s father to engineer his unwilling daughter into a more lucrative match. Drama, comedy, love and dazzling choreography combine in Petipa’s enchanting classic, originally created for the Bolshoi in 1869 and re-staged for the Company in 1999.
