DON QUIXOTE | IMPERIAL RUSSIAN BALLET COMPANY AUSTRALASIAN TOUR 2014
The Imperial Russian Ballet Company will bring this flamboyant and festive ballet to Australia & New Zealand in 2014.
Don Quixote, a retired gentleman, travels the roads of Spain searching for glory and grand adventure. Accompanying him is a somewhat bewildered labourer named Sancho Panza who he has persuaded to accompany him as his faithful squire. In return, Don Quixote promises to make Sancho the wealthy governor of an Island. Don Quixote gives up food, shelter and comfort all in the name of a peasant woman Dulcinea del Toboso who he envisions as a princess.
Don Quixote was first performed in Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre in 1869. Since then it has been performed all over the world by Russian and international ballet companies.
Show contains smoke/fog effects.
