The story

What Is Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) About?

The premise of Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) without spoilers.

Carlos Acosta’s directorial debut reimagines this beloved ballet classic, with Acosta himself starring as Basilio alongside Marianella Nuñez as Kitri. Building upon Petipa’s original choreography, the production features a clear dramatic structure and vibrant stage action. The familiar story of a young man pursuing his love despite his father’s disapproval is enhanced by a compelling parallel storyline involving Don Quixote and his idealized Dulcinea-Kitri, creating a more unified and engaging narrative.
