Goldenthal, the three-act ballet adapts Shakespeare's story of jealousy and betrayal and highlights ABT's blend of classical technique and contemporary choreography.

    About Don Quixote(ballet)

    Don Quixote

    jeff from denver, US

    A staple of the 19th-century classical repertory, *Don Quixote* draws on episodes from Cervantes’ novel, filtering its wandering knight through a sunny village story centered on Kitri and Basilio. First shaped by choreographer Marius Petipa to music by Ludwig Minkus, it survives today as a touchstone for bravura dancing and ensemble precision. In New York, American Ballet Theatre has helped make it part of the city’s shared ballet vocabulary, returning to it across generations. Its lasting value is practical as much as narrative: it tests technique while insisting on theatrical clarity.
