The National Ballet of Cuba will soon travel to Australia to present a classic from its repertoire, Don Quixote, with choreography by prima ballerina assoluta Alicia Alonso based on the work of Petipa-Gorski.
According to sources with the company, it will perform from September 19 to October 5 at the Lyric Theatre in the city of Brisbane.
The leading roles will be danced by figures such as first dancers Anette Delgado, Viengsay Valdes, Elier Bourzac, Sadaise Arencibia, Yanela Piñera and Ernesto Alvarez, among others, known for their polished technique and stage projection, supported by soloists and the company's corps de ballet.
Alonso's version gives a leading role to the character of Don Quixote, the wandering knight and defender of utopias created by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.
For the first time in the representation of that ballet, Don Quixote dances, abandoning his traditional stillness. He does so in the first act, considered by critics as one of the most successful.
Divided into a prologue and three acts, the Cuban version is characterized by faithfulness to Hispanic culture and folklore, revealed especially in the character dances.
The artistic/choreography direction bears the hallmark of former first dancers Marta Garcia and Maria Elena Llorente, while Salvador Fernandez is in cha5rge of the libretto, scenery and costumes.
