RUIDOSO DANCE ENSEMBLE CELEBRATES THE PASSION OF DANCE WITH “DON QUIXOTE”

“DON QUIXOTE” is an exuberant delight!

RUIDOSO, NEW MEXICO – June 4th, 2011, Ruidoso Dance Ensemble will present the ballet

“Don Quixote” at the Spencer Theater for the Performing Arts.

This beloved romantic comedy tells the story of a delusional Don Quixote and his sidekick,

Sancho Panza, as they set out on an adventure to find Quixote’s imaginary lost love, Dulcinea. The pair encounters young lovers Kitri and Basilio and intervenes to save Kitri from an arranged marriage to a wealthy, but foppish, Gamache.

“Don Quixote” is regarded as one of the most vibrant and entertaining ballets performed today, with technical dancing, elaborate sets, and a lively score. The stage explodes with one show-stopping dance after another in this feast of choreographic fireworks. “Don Quixote” is the perfect ballet for artistic director Deborah Rogers to showcase the abilities of RDE’s dancers.  Included in the cast is guest artist and world class dancer Georgi Rusafov, dancing the part of Basilio.

Ruidoso Dance Ensemble’s production takes the audience on the fun and fanciful adventures of the eccentric Man of La Mancha, the frolics of village barber Basilio, and the passions of Basilio’s beautiful young lover, Kitri.

“Don Quixote”, the spirited 19th century classic originally choreographed by Marius Petipa to music by Ludwig Minkus, is full of Spanish flair, passion, and comedy.  “Don Quixote” is perfect for audience members of all ages.  Ruidoso Dance Ensemble will present two performances at the Spencer Theater of the Performing Arts.
