The Mikhailovsky Ballet Visiting Company: Don Quixote at London Coliseum
Overview
Starring Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev. Don Quixote is one of the most life-affirming, colorful and festive ballets. In 1869, the Moscow Bolshoi Theatre gave a première of the comic play staged by Marius Petipa to Minkus’s music, telling a story of the failed wedding of a young beauty and a rich nobleman, because of the true love of the heroine to a poor guy. In 1871, Petipa created a new version of the ballet for the première at the Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre in St. Petersburg. In 1900, a new production of Don Quixote was staged by Alexander Gorsky. Gorsky kept the scenario plan and, partly, Petipa’s choreography. Gorsky organized the crowd scenes in a new way to avoid 'any symmetry'.
