BBC Four - The Royal Ballet: Don Quixote

Carlos Acosta's dance adaptation of the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes.

Dance adaptation of the novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Choreographer Carlos Acosta brings to life the adventures of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza.

Carlos Acosta presents his first work for The Royal Ballet - an entertaining new dance adaptation of the classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Carlos brings to life the adventures of the bumbling knight Don Quixote and his ever-faithful squire Sancho Panza with help of leading West End designers and Ludwig Minkus's score is re-imagined with on-stage flamenco guitars and castanets. Introduced by a look behind the scenes with The Royal Ballet Company, this production establishes Carlos as an exciting choreographic talent.
