This carefree classic premiered in December 1869 in Moscow, Russia and was originally choreographed by Marius Petipa, with a score by Ludwig Minkus. Cervantes' famous character, Don Quixote wanders in search of his dream girl, Dulcinea. He traipses into the beautiful Kitri's romantic drama, between the dashing barber Basilio, and her father' wish for her to marry the rich old fool, Gamache. Lynch Ballet Company' Spring 2015 production with tambourines and fans wielded only as gifted dancers can, spectacular professional sets displaying Kitri and Basilio's adventures through Don Quixote's eyes, and lavish costumes by Madeline Hinkis, former costume mistress for ABT II promises to wow audiences of all ages.
