Prepare to be enchanted by a vibrant performance of “Don Quixote,” where dynamic choreography and graceful prowess bring Cervantes’ classic tale to life. Come along the fantastical adventures of a hero in search of glory and his sword-bearing sidekick, Sancho
Panza.
From bustling Barcelona to an enchanted forest, a royal castle to a gypsy camp, and of course that famous meadow of windmills, Don Quixote makes his way across an epic landscape, amusingly bumbling through various altercations but always somehow coming out on top, thanks to his bravery and purity of heart.
The Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre was the first federally sanctioned opera and ballet theatre in the vast territory of Siberia and the Far East. Since its first performance in 1945, the company has enchanted millions of audience members in more than 30 countries with 460-plus ballets and operas. This one is festive, rousing and funny–the keys to a joyful evening.
