Don Quixote

“A knight errant without love entanglements would be like a tree without leaves or fruit, or a body without a soul” (Cervantes 1.1, Raffel translation) Indeed, love is magical, and every one of Don Quixote’s myriad adventures revolves around that heroic odyssey.
In the classic ballet “Don Quixote” by Leon Minkus and Marius Petipa, the endearing dreamer follows his vision of Dulcinea with his squire Sancho Panza. The magic unfurls at the Spencer Theater at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 7th with brilliant leaps and lifts by the 50 Russian dancers of the world renowned Moscow Festival Ballet.
