San Francisco Ballet Presents: Don Quixote

Don Quixote

MARCH 20-MARCH 29, 2015

Program 5: Full-Length

Total running time: 2 hours 34 minutes, two intermissions

The classic favorite returns! Helgi Tomasson and Yuri Possokhov’s thrilling and visually resplendent Don Quixote features some of the most virtuosic dancing in the classical repertory and a dazzling array of costumes by the late Tony Award winner Martin Pakledinaz. Don’t miss the funny and romantic ballet the Huffington Post called “a three-act collection of ‘tales of the lovelorn’ translated into eye-popping episodes of passion and frivolity, intimacy and spectacle…an impossible dream come true.”  ADDED PERFORMANCE
