Don Quixote in 10 minutes!

"Don Quixote in 10 minutes!"
Why in 10 minutes? Take it as:
- a video-short story to tell/show to someone
- a quick video resume in case you forget (we hope you don't :P)
- an invitation for watching the entire ballet performance (we hope live)
- a challenge!

The innkeeper's plans to marry Kitri to the wealthy Gamache are turned upside-down when Don Quixote and Sancho Panza stumble into Sevilla and try to help the lovers, Basilio and Kitri.

From American Ballet Theatre - Don Quixote (1983), with Mikhail Baryshnikov as Basilio, Cynthia Harvey as Kitri

The best Don Quichote I've ever seen! None is better than this one!

Great fun, thank you for posting! Baryshnikov's DQ is my favorite version. He's fantastic and has just the right amount of ham in the comic scenes. Harvey is terrific, the whole cast is stellar. Young Susan Jaffe as Queen of the Dryads shows her beautiful line and I think is the best in this role after Alla Sizova. The tavern scene -- dance with the cups that Baryshnikov interpolated == is one minute of pure joy.

this is still the finest Don Q the leads are superb Harvey the finest Kitri both from dancing and acting Barishnikov untouchable his dance with the goblets both technically and dramatically perfect.

Don Quixote Dulcinea variation is my fav

Unforgettable DQ. What I like most is that Misha did what he wanted to do, for example, the traditional Gypsy woman dance in the second act

My favorite DQ ever! The only role I really miss in this production is Mercedes, which barely exists here.

Thank you so much for this Din Quixote to go! I love this ABT production with those great dancers! (and funny sub (: )
A pity that Don Q is not one the ballet stories included in retellings - it has great action and a lot of feisty, funny female energy....
Kitri is such an underrated ballet character (and another proof that ballet girls are brave and clever - btw, are you actually doing those personality tests? (Because I'm wondering whether I should put my old one finally edited here on Youtube)-
What I'm also wondering that those fine ballets are mostly about love, dreams and exotic places. I should really try to watch a Don Quixote performance, but still...I'm not team Minkus (; But how would be a Don Quixote with Tchaikovsky's music? It would be also interesting to see the Spanish Dance from the Nutcracker with this scene in the beginning, when also Basilio has his guitar. Perhaps it could be even a Nutcracker second act with all those less known ballets, such as La Sylphide, Don Quixote, La Bayadere, Coppelia, The little humpbacked horse, Giselle, La Fille mal gardee....this is perhaps something I could imagine in a ballet as tribute to ballet (I know that there is Cranko's Nutcracker with a performance second act, but it would be so cool if it would include real ballets, such as Don
