Eifman Ballet of St Petersburg: Don Quixote April 23, 2011

The Eifman Ballet has revolutionized the concept of classical dance in Russia by taking the art of ballet to its highest - and most modern - level of expressiveness. Widely considered Russia's greatest living choreographer, Boris Eifman brings to life the classic story by Miguel de Cervantes, with music by Ludwig Minkus. In an asylum, a crazy dreamer who thinks he is Don Quixote inspires his fellow inmates with his daydreams of the beauties of Spain.
