Diana Vishneva in Don Quixote. Kirov Ballet. Photgraph by Natalia Razina.“Don Quixote” is the Russians’ heritage - Petipa created it for the rival Bolshoi Ballet in 1869, and the Kirov credits its production (questionably) to the 1902 Alexander Gorsky staging - but the Kirov doesn’t dance it like a museum piece. Instead, the famous Kirov tough-as-nails technique feels unloosed in a faux-Spanish celebration of gypsy madness and young love. -- source link
