An IBT For Children Production
IBT strongly believes in providing younger generations with access to the arts via dance. IBT For Children productions are specifically created for younger audiences and are performed by their peers. By witnessing unique ballets performed by dancers their age, it is our hope that young artists will be inspired to look at dance and art in a positive and beautiful way.
Don Quixote
A timeless classic ballet
A performance in Two Acts with one intermission.
Total runtime - 1 hour 45 min.
BRAVADO! HEROISM! ROMANCE! ILLUSION! These qualities permeate the fanciful tale of Don Quixote – a brave Spanish Conquistador obsessed with medieval chivalry who imagines himself to be a knight errant.
Along with his faithful servant, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote searches for his mythical love, Lady Dulcinea. Marius Petipa choreographed this unusual ballet at the height of his career, and it premiered at the Bolshoi Theatre in 1869. IBT honors the ballet in its traditional style. Vibrant costumes and fiery Spanish flavor transform this implausible story into a richly entertaining and unforgettable experience.
