Beriozoff (after Marius Petipa & Alexander Gorsky)/Minkus
Adapted from the famous Cervantes tale of the aging yet forever valiant knight Don Quixote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza, Nicolas Beriozoff’s Don Quixote tells the playful story of two young lovers, the spirited maiden Kitri and her opportunistic Basilio, who through a series of humorous events meet Cervantes’ hero en route to the altar. Filled with the bright colors of sunny Spain, bravura, high-flying jumps and sizzling spins, Don Quixote is set to one of the most well-known ballet scores ever written in the work of Ludwig Minkus, and its choreography, originally set by the masterful Marius Petipa and adapted for Richmond Ballet by Beriozoff in 1985, is strong, sassy and overflowing with energy.
