Don Quixote

Don Quixote, our legacy of the golden age of classical ballet, is a poignant example of how Spain is portrayed in ballets with its whirlwind ensemble dancing, castanets, fans, polka dot skirts, roses and decorative combs in women’s hairdos. Despite its name, the ballet is not an adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ novel. Only one episode of the ingenious hidalgo’s many adventures serves as the basis for the story and the dancing scenes. This virtuoso ballet was staged in 1900 (and transferred from the Bolshoi Theatre to the Mariinsky Theatre in 1902) by Alexander Gorsky after the eponymous ballet of Marius Petipa.
