Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) (2014): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2014, Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) is a música film directed by Ross MacGibbon, running about 180 minutes.

What it’s about. Carlos Acosta's first venture directing one of ballet's 19th century classics was eagerly anticipated, as was his own starring role in the production (as Basilio), opposite the Argentinian Royal Ballet principal Marianella Nuñez (Kitri). Still built on Petipa's original choreography, Acosta's clear dramatic structure and vivid stage action gave the ‘boy gets girl despite her father’ story a more convincing air than usual, with Don Quixote's parallel obsession with Dulcinea-Kitri coherently woven into the plot.

Who’s in it. Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) stars Marianela Núñez as Kitri, Carlos Acosta as Basilio, Christopher Saunders as Don Quixote and Philip Mosley as Sancho Panza, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 8.0/10, Don Quixote (The Royal Ballet) sits among the best-reviewed titles in the catalogue.
