Singapore Dance Theatre (SDT) presents the company premiere of Don Quixote; one of the most cherished classical ballets of the 19th century repertoire. A celebratory conclusion to the 2014 season, Don Quixote will be from 4-7 December 2014, at the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. Don Quixote is the first new full-length classical ballet to be added to SDT’s existing repertoire in the past seven years.

First choreographed in 1869 for the Bolshoi Ballet in Russia, Don Quixote is based on Miguel de Cervantes’s tale of romance and chivalry that follows the heroic adventures of the aged yet inspired knight, Don Quixote, and his devoted squire, Sancho Panza. Their paths meet with two lovers – the spirited Kitri and the charming Basilio, who are on a quest to marry. With staging by the legendary Cynthia Harvey, gorgeous costumes and set by Australian designer Bruce McKinven, striking lighting design by Adrian Tan, and soaring music by Ludwig Minkus, Don Quixote is set to be an impressive and breath-taking ballet.
