Duration:180 min
Director:Ross MacGibbon
Actors:Marianela Núñez, Carlos Acosta, Christopher Saunders, Philip Mosley, Ryoichi Hirano
Production:Opus Arte, Royal Opera House

Overview:

Carlos Acosta's first venture directing one of ballet's 19th century classics was eagerly anticipated, as was his own starring role in the production (as Basilio), opposite the Argentinian Royal Ballet principal Marianella Nuñez (Kitri). Still built on Petipa's original choreography, Acosta's clear dramatic structure and vivid stage action gave the ‘boy gets girl despite her father’ story a more convincing air than usual, with Don Quixote's parallel obsession with Dulcinea-Kitri coherently woven into the plot.
