Don Quixote
Sofia Opera and Ballet accompanied by the Orchestra of the Slovene National Theatre Opera and Ballet Ljubljana
A ballet in three acts, based on the novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes.
The opening performance of the 1st International Ballet Festival is the playful and temperamental ballet Don Quixote about a dreamer and nobleman Don Quixote de la Mancha and the innocent and sincere love between barber Basilio and an innkeeper’s daughter, Kitri, betrothed by her father to marry of a wealthy nobleman.
Don Quixote is a classical ballet by composer Ludwig Minkus to the libretto and choreography by Marius Petipa. It is the choreographer’s first and most famous Spanish-themed full-length ballet, which received its premiere in Moscow in 1869. In 1900, choreographer Alexander Gorsky presented his revival of the ballet for the Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow. In his reworking of the ballet, Gorky added distinctive dances performed by the corps de ballet, investing the piece with vitality, rhythmic flow and playfulness.
The Don Quixote ballet is a brilliant overture to the dreamy Dance Nights – Ljubljana’s 1st International Ballet Festival.
