Summary

World-renowned dancer Carlos Acosta choreographs his debut production for The Royal Ballet: the joyous and exuberant Don Quixote. Acosta's enthusiasm for the work and his wealth of experience dancing the role of Basilio are shown in this vivacious production that 'positively sizzles' (The Independent). Acosta is 'in fine, streamlined form' as Basilio and Marianela Nuñez, as Kitri, is 'a joy to behold' (The Guardian). The fantastical delusions of the whimsical Don Quixote, the Spanish atmosphere, exotic dream sequence and lively humour make this a showcase for the whole Company, from Principals to corps de ballet. With Tim Hatley's lavish designs and conductor Martin Yates's meticulous reorchestration of the score, this is an electrifying new production of a much-loved classic. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true Surround Sound.
