Ballet Manila

Ballet Manila's Don Quixote

Sunday, February 05, 2017

     Opening the year in true Ballet Manila fashion, the country’s premier classical dance company is staging one of the world’s most colorful and enduring ballet pieces—Don Quixote. I can still recall my literature professor who happens have a thing for Spanish novels and Don Quixote tops his list!

     Happening on February 24 and 25, 2017 at 8:00 p.m. and on February 26, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. at Aliw Theater, Don Quixote is known in the ballet world as one of the most technically challenging pieces ever created, with some of the choreography raising the already high international standards when it first premiered in 1869 at the Tsar's Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg. It is especially known for its compulsory quick and strong movements, high vertical takeoffs, one arm lifts, quick fouettes, quadruple pirouettes, and Kitri’s signature move, the Plisetskaya head-kick. Don Quixote is the closing act for Ballet Manila’s 21st performance season.

     When I was a child, I dreamed of dancing gracefully on tip toes. If my memory serves me right, I once dreamed of becoming a ballerina. I think every little girl's dream is to dance gracefully and if you happen to have a daughter, a little sister, niece, or grand daughter who wants to become a ballerina, Ballet Manila is here to make their dreams come true. Speaking of Ballet Manila, sharing with you their shows this weekend.
