Don Quixote choreographed for The Tokyo Ballet by "God of the Dance", Vladimir Vasiliev

Don Quixote is one of Marius Petipa's most popular classics. Set in Spain, the ballet has been loved for its breadth of virtuoso dancing including that of cheerful Seguidille, stylish dance of Toreadors, energetic dance in the gypsy scene, beautiful classical dance by Dyrads and the famously bravura Act III pas de deux.

The Tokyo Ballet's Don Quixote was produced and choreographed by legendary dancer Vladimir Vasiliev, known as the "God of the Dance", after Marius Petipa and Alexander Gorsky. Vasiliev's version was an elaborate fusion of tradition of the Bolshoi Ballet and modernity. The premiere by The Tokyo Ballet in 2001 received considerable critical acclaim, amazing the audience members and critics alike. In 2014, Vasiliev returned to Tokyo and coached the Company to stage Don Quixote again.

In July, The Tokyo Ballet presents three performances of Don Quixote in celebration of the 80th birth anniversary of a living legend, Vladimir Vasiliev.
