Don Quixote

About This Movie

So, this version of Don Quixote from 2015, it’s intriguing—combines comedy with music and romance in a way that feels fresh. The choreography has this delightful energy, really captures the spirit of Petipa's original but, of course, it's got that modern twist. The pacing, especially, shifts nicely between lively dances and softer, romantic moments, which adds a nice rhythm. The performances are engaging, with the dancers bringing a certain charm that makes you smile. It’s not just a ballet; it’s an experience. The way La Scala Ballet interprets this classic is worth noting—there's a bit of whimsy in the air, and every scene feels thoughtfully crafted, making it stand apart from other adaptations.
