Mariinsky Ballet in Kennedy Center in Washington, DC

Following their acclaimed production of La Bayadère at the Kennedy Center in January 2008, St. Petersburg’s Mariinsky Ballet (formerly Kirov) returns with another master ballet from its repertory: Don Quixote. The man from la Mancha rides headlong into the middle of a young couple’s wedding, a spirited village celebrates with lively Spanish dancing, and a prankster Duke leads his rambunctious court. “A dance-packed feast of humor, romance, and a touch of fantasy” (The London Times), Don Quixote is the mighty Mariinsky at its best.
