Don Quixote is one of the world's most famous ballets, inspired by Miguel de Cervantes' novel of the same name. The masterpiece centres on the adventures of the dreamy knight Don Quixote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza, as they search for the virtuous Kitri, a young woman in love with Basilio, a young barber. The Don Quixote ballet stands out for its energy, humour and the very technical and virtuoso movements of the Kiev Ballet dancers.
