Description
Don Quixote is a ballet known for its colorful characters that portray their personalities and emotions through distinct choreography. The most well-known and resilient adaptation of Don Quixote is that of Russian choreographer Marius Petipa that first premiered in 1869. Petipa's version of Don Quixote, to the music of Minkus, is the standard ballet version of the tale and features the popular virtuoso pas de deux that has been performed countless times as a concert piece.
