National Ballet of Japan's 2023/24 season opened to a very appreciative audience with Alexei Fadeyechev’s Don Quixote. 

In contrast to companies like the Bolshoi, ABT’s Don Quixote comes across as sweet but slight.

Helgi Tomasson and Yuri Possokhov's restaging of the 1869 Petipa classic brings a sunny smile to faces in San Francisco. 

National Ballet of Japan marks a triumphant season opening of Don Quixote with new director Miyako Yoshida, the first ballet performance in 8 months with full seating capacity audience and live orchestra. .

San Francisco Ballet's Don Quixote is ultimately a winning production with surprising warmth and heart.

In addition to providing a showcase for the principals, the ballet provides ample opportunity for the company's soloists to shine.

The fireworks – when they came – were explosive, Viktoria Tereshkina and Kimin Kim igniting the Royal Opera House stage in a frenzy of effervescent footwork.

Alas, putting two stars (Kochetkova and Cornejo) together is no guarantee of success and that was certainly the case here.

Svetlana Zakharova's Odette–Odile rises Bolshoi ballet's otherwise disappointing Swan Lake, with a luminous performance by the Bolshoi Orchestra, as part of Lincoln Center Festival. 

American Ballet Theatre’s second program of their tour is the All Star Gala, not just a star-studded pas de deux evening but with two brilliant works, Balanchine's Theme and Variations and Ratmansky's Piano Concerto no. 1.

On Thursday night the Sofia National Ballet’s production of Don Quixote whisked its Glasgow audience away to a fantastic world of chivalry, young love, dreamlike dryads and eccentric knights-errant throwing lances at windmills.

Ask any ballet fan about American Ballet Theatre and you can expect to hear about a long list of principal dancers and starring roles. With company members from around the world, the conversation could take place in any language and span generations.

Forget those photos from North Korea showing the build-up of weaponry. A couple of supersonic rockets were set off in London on Saturday night at the London Coliseum, and the audience is still reeling from the aftermath.
