The Australian Ballet presents
The Dancers Company
Don Quixote
In 2010 The Dancers Company, the regional touring arm of The
Australian Ballet, will present the lively ballet classic Don
Quixote. Based on the legendary tale by Spanish author
Cervantes, this classic ballet tells the story of the knight
Quixote on a quest to find his lost love. On his journey he crosses
paths with the swooning young lovers Basilio and Kitri in a tale of
fun, mischief and mistaken identity. Set in a Spanish seaside
village, this light-hearted and colourful ballet features a rich
diversity of characters. Its dramatic liveliness and virtuosic
dancing makes it the perfect showcase for The Dancers Company's
many talented dancers.
The Dancers Company comprises guest artists of The Australian
Ballet and graduating students from The Australian Ballet School.
Generations of dancers have performed Don Quixote,
including Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn and Mikhail Baryshnikov.
In presenting Don Quixote' we continue the legacy of The
Dancers Company, passing the baton between the legends of the past
to the stars of today and the future stars of tomorrow.
