Performer: Alexei Fadeyechev

The State Ballet of Georgia's first visit to London has proved competent but lacking vitality. However there is plenty of talent – it just needs realising.

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

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

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. .

Дон Кто? Лучше всего забыть о Сервантесе, когда речь идет о балете «Дон Кихот», особенно о постановке Алексея Фадеечева трехлетней давности, впервые показанной в театре Ковент-Гарден в 2016

Fiery footwork from Margarita Shrainer and Igor Tsvirko kick life into Fadeyechev’s version of Don Quixote.
