Sunday February 25, 2024 at 6 p.m., the Théâtre du Casino Barrière Lille will welcome the spectacle of “Don Quixote” by the Grand Ballet of kyiv.
Don Quixote – The Great Ballet of kyiv
Don Quixote is one of the most prestigious works in the history of classical dance. Performed by the greatest ballet stars, Don Quixote is one of the pinnacles in the art of dance.
The ballet combines the romantic intrigue of the young Quiterie (Kitri) and the barber Basile with the odyssey of the “knight with the sad face”. Don Quixote, an eccentric old knight obsessed with the ideal of chivalry, is haunted by the vision of a utopian love, Dulcinea. The ballet is made up of famous episodes such as the meeting with the traveling actors, the battle against the windmills and the famous “pas de deux” of Don Quixote and Kitri, full of virtuosity, which has become a workhorse for the classical stars.
Nureyev produced the first complete version of the ballet in the West according to the choreography of Marius Petipa. Moreover, without “Don Quixote” there would be no Nureyev whose talent was discovered by the West during this ballet, one of his favorite roles and for which he will direct the film. The choreographer, Petipa, offers here a choreography full of color and vigor. The music of Austrian composer Léon Minkus alternates airy melodies and Spanish ensembles, all crossed by a bubbling, joyful and lively energy.
With Don Quixote, we are in the golden age of classical ballet. As for the Grand Ballet of kyiv, its soloists perform successfully on the best stages: those of the Bolshoi, the Scala, the Paris Grand Opera, the Metropolitan Opera. All over the world, the mastery of the artists of the kyiv Ballet is admired.
