Teatro alla Scala Ballet: Don Quixote

Date: Aug 31-Sept 2 - 7:15 pm

Venue: Shanghai Grand Theater, Shanghai

With its sparkling energy and the bright colors of the staging by Raffaele Del Savio and Anna Anni, Rudolf Nureyev's Don Quixote, in repertoire at La Scala since 1980, will transport audiences with freshness, joy and choreographic splendor to an enchanting Spain, with gypsy dances, fandangos, matadors, windmills and the airy candor of the Garden of the Dryads. Set to Minkus' accessible music, the adventures of Don Quixote and his trusted squire Sancho Panza interweave; or rather, they act as a pretext for a love story and for an evening of sizzling dances, scintillating and full of temperament, with funny supporting characters and virtuoso lead roles. Between fleeing, deceptions and disguises, Don Quixote will dance with his Dulcinea, and the young Kitri and the barber Basilio's dreams will come true.
