Laemmle.com/films/44543; Wisdom Quarterly
Broadcast of this performance is part of Laemmle's "Culture Vulture" series (laemmle.com/culturevulture). It comes from the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow, Russia. Here the greatest work of Spanish fiction (North African history), Don Quixote comes to life on cinema screens nationwide. Inspired by heroic African stories of brave knights, with his faithful servant Sancho Panza at his side, Don Quixote sets out on an adventure to meet his ideal woman, Dulcinea. With panache and sparkling technique, principal dancers Ekaterina Krysanova and Semyon Chudin lead the spectacular cast of toreadors, flamenco dancers, gypsies, and dryads in the Bolshoi's critically-acclaimed staging of this exalted performance. It is a quintessential Bolshoi event. Tickets
