Now Streaming: Ballet Philippines’ ‘Don Quixote’
The 2011 Ballet Philippines production of Don Quixote is now streaming online.
A Spanish-themed production, Don Quixote, brings to life Miguel de Cervantes’ literary classic of the same title. Set in Barcelona, the ballet follows Don Quixote, a kooky but aging knight whose North Star is chivalry.
The hero meets Kitri, an innkeeper’s daughter who he mistakes for his love interest, Dulcinea. The apple of his eye, meanwhile, falls in love with the town’s humble, local barber, Basilio. Kitri’s father disapproves, and insists that his daughter marry the wealthiest man in their village.
Confusion ensues when the knight unwittingly helps the two lovers find their happy ending.
