About This Programme
Don Quixote has enthralled audiences for 140 years. Created by the Mariinsky's Marius Petipa whose iconic works define classical ballet, Don Quixote showcases this legendary company at its joyous best.

The spectacular solo and ensemble dancing in Don Quixote perfectly captures the Company's brilliance – from the famous grand pas de deux for lovers Kitri and Basilio to virtuosic solos for a street dancer and Espada the toreador, from the corps de ballet's beautiful dream sequence to jubilant gypsy and oriental dances.

The Mariinsky Ballet
The Mariinsky Ballet began as the Russian court's Imperial Theatre School in the 18th century. Known as the Kirov Ballet during the Soviet times, the Company's unmistakable and graceful style – a combination of superb technique and eloquent interpretative skills, and with a corps de ballet world famous for precision and unity – sets the benchmark of perfection.
