“

Don Quixote" premiered in Moscow, Russia on December, 14, 1869. It was created by the great Ballet Master and Choreographer Marius Petipa (creator of "The Sleeping Beauty" -1890, "La Bayadere" -1877, "Swan Lake" -1895, "Raymonda" -1898, the "Paquita Grand Pas Classique" -1881, "Harlequinade" - 1900 and "The Nutcracker" -1892 among many other masterpieces) becoming a great success that would live for over a century. The work was then mounted in St. Petersburg for the Czar's Imperial Ballet on November 9, 1871 in a far more lavish and serious production. "Don Quixote" was re-staged many times (during and after Petipa's lifetime) most notably by Alexander Gorksy, a student of Petipa, and later, Rostislav Zharakov. The ballet went on to become one of the corner stones of the Russian Ballet repertory, and has been staged the world over.
