In 2012 The Dancers Company, the regional touring arm of The Australian Ballet, will present the lively ballet classic Don Quixote. Based on the legendary tale by Spanish author Cervantes, this classic ballet tells the story of the knight Quixote on a quest to find his lost love. On his journey he crosses paths with the swooning young loversKitri and Basilioin a tale of fun, mischief and mistaken identity. Set in a Spanish seaside village, this light-hearted and colourful ballet features a rich diversity of characters. Its dramatic liveliness and virtuosic dancing makes it the perfect showcase for The Dancers Company's many talented dancers.



The Dancers Company comprises guest artists of The Australian Ballet and graduating students from The Australian Ballet School. Generations of dancers have performed Don Quixote, including Rudolf Nureyev, Margot Fonteyn and Mikhail Baryshnikov. In presenting Don Quixote' we continue the legacy of The Dancers Company, passing the baton between the legends of the past to the stars of today and the future stars of tomorrow.
