24 April - 17 May
Artscape Opera House
Veronica Paeper's production of Don Quixote will be presented by the Cape Town City Ballet in association with Artscape Opera House from 24 April to 17 May. This ever-popular ballet is based on the hero of the novel, Don Quixote, and was written by Miquel de Cervantes. The Don, driven by his vision of Dulcinea and his mind totally twisted by tales of chivalry, sets out on his wild adventures with his trusty squire, Sancho Panza.
The production stars guest artists Agnes Oaks and Thomas Edur, who are rated as one of the best ballet duo's in the world and who dance the leading roles of Kitri and Basilio at three performances. Their visit has been made possible by British Airways. Cape Town City Ballet's Marianne Bauer, Tracy li and Michelle Louw, partnered by Johnny Bovang and Daniel Rajna, will dance the other performances. The melodic score is composed by Ludwig Minkus and will be performed by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by David Tidboald.
