"Birmingham Royal Ballet's Don Quixote is big, brash and noisy and seeks to capture something of the sunny, vibrant spirit of southern Spain, with Tim Hatley's new sets and costumes creating the required atmosphere."
"The titular Don in his deluded search for monsters to slay, while pining for his ideal woman, Dulcinea, is almost incidental to the central tale of the tribulations of the lovers Kitri and Basilio."
"Acosta kept much of the choreography devised by Marius Petipa for the Bolshoi, but added some of his own, particularly for the Act II scene in the gypsy camp, which contains added music by Hans Vercauteren."
Birmingham Royal Ballet's Don Quixote presents a lively adaptation of the classic tale, focusing on the love story of Kitri and Basilio, with Don Quixote's role as a catalyst. The production features vibrant sets and costumes, capturing the essence of southern Spain. The choreography retains elements from Marius Petipa while incorporating new additions by Carlos Acosta. The performance is enhanced by Ludwig Minkus's musical score, creating an entertaining experience filled with energetic dancing and colorful characters, culminating in a joyful wedding celebration.
