"The production of 'Don Quixote' at the War Memorial Opera House showcases a unique adaptation of Marius Petipa's ballet, focusing on romance and adventure rather than the title character."
"In this version, Don Quixote, played by Nathaniel Remez, remains mostly on the periphery, allowing the love story between Kitri and Basilio to take center stage."
"The narrative includes a variety of characters and escapades, such as a confrontation with a windmill, while also incorporating elements from Cervantes' original novel."
