Stars of Ballet at Festival Ballet Theatre’s ‘Don Quixote’
03.24.17
International stars of ballet will perform with Festival Ballet Theatre in FBT’s production of Don Quixote on Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26. It’s also an extra special production since two of ballet’s most prestigious dancers will appear as guest artists.
Hee Seo and Marcelo Gomes will be performing for the first time together in the leading roles of Kitri and Basilio as the passionate young lovers, with gypsy spirit and excitement of old-world Spain. They have both performed in Festival Ballet Theatre’s Don Quixote production, receiving rave reviews.
Set to Ludwig Minkus' memorable score, this classic is a ballet lover's favorite. Don Quixote features these internationally acclaimed guest artists as well as Festival Ballet Theatre’s professional company dancers and a boisterous cast of characters that create vibrant scenes from days gone by. This ballet brings Cervantes’ quintessential novel to life as the eccentric, wandering knight, searches to find his ideal woman, Dulcinea, accompanied by his loyal sidekick, Sancho Panza.
The two performances open with an evening performance on Saturday, March 25 at 7 p.m. and closes with an afternoon performance on Sunday, March 26 at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $42 to $55.
Irvine Barclay Theatre is at 242 Campus Drive in Irvine. 949.854.4646.
