Synopsis
Based on the iconic 1973 film
In a creative feat that will see ballet transposed from screen to stage,
Don Quixote
recreates Rudolf Nureyev and Robert Helpmann’s 1973 film in a wildly colourful, palpably textured stage spectacle. A tribute to the legacy of the legendary Russian dancer and director who was a guest of The Australian Ballet in the early 1970s, this production resembles a painting come to life, enriched by a Spanish-flavoured score by veteran 19th-century ballet composer Ludwig Minkus, and vibrant costumes and sets that immerse audiences in a sultry experience of classical ballet.
Don Quixote
moves from a rowdy Barcelona port to the ethereal happenings of the Don’s dream, to the candle-lit finery of the wedding celebration. A spirited ballet bursting with humour, the story follows the barber Basilio, who wins the hand of his girlfriend Kitri with the help of the visionary knight.
No detail is left unexplored in this rendition of
Don Quixote
. Emphasising the integral role of the set in evoking the film’s seductive atmosphere, the stage brims with everything from flowers to candles, evoking the bustling streets of Spain.
From the ballet’s spectacular lifts in Act I, to rousing ensemble scenes and a glittering confection of tutus,
Don Quixote
is a multi-sensory feast that reminds us of ballet’s power in the historical creative canon.
