Don Quixote is a vibrant, witty ballet that pairs high-spirited comedy with dazzling dancing. Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ beloved novel, the ballet follows the misadventures of the delusional yet endearing Don Quixote alongside the joyous love story of two spirited young villagers.

Far from being simply mad, or even truly a knight, Don Quixote is an aging nobleman who has read so many tales of chivalry that he becomes convinced he is destined to live one himself. Setting out on a quest to revive honor, right wrongs, and protect the innocent, he charges headlong into a world that no longer operates by the ideals he cherishes.
