The Polish National Opera's first staging of Strauss' massive fairy tale feels like a bold statement of intent.

In Prometheus, Krzysztof Pastor has created an epic full-length ballet for his company which serves to show-off a roster of powerful principal roles as well as a fine ensemble.

A rich mix of pure dance and powerful music shows the company in very fine form towards the end of a demanding season.

Don Quixote is a sunny ballet that is impossible not to enjoy, which here provided an evening of great skill and joyful entertainment.
