Fun Facts about the ballet Don Quixote

  • This 4 act ballet first premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1869.
  • The Ballet only covers a small portion of Cervantes' full epic novel.
  • The version we know and love today was choreographed by Marius Petitpas. An earlier adaptation of the story as a ballet is recorded in 1740 in Austria. This technically makes the ballet over 250 years old!
  • Kitri and Basilio's Grand Pas de Deux is performed more often at galas, competitions and recitals as an excerpt than the full production of the ballet.
