This ballet, brimming with fun and vitality, is based on an episode from Cervantes' Don Quixote. It is a love story featuring the barber, Basilio, and the town girl, Kitri, which unfolds in bright, cheerful Barcelona.This popular program piece offers the beauty of classical ballet and character dancing in a rich variety of forms. Enjoy the full panoply of dramatic dance: Spanish dancing, with its distinctive accents, by bedazzlingly clad matadors and the girls of the town; the beautiful corps de ballet dancing in scenes from Don Quixote's dreams; and the final pas de deux danced with the utmost skill by the lovers in the final act. The National Ballet of Japan presents its rich line-up of soloists and its highly recognized corps de ballet in this much-loved classical work.
