ABOUT THIS DVD

Decca’s association with arguably the world’s greatest ballet company continues with their colourful production of the Petipa classic.

A breath-taking ensemble performance of Petipa’s popular Don Quichotte, loosely based on Cervantes famous novel, from the world-renowned Mariinsky Ballet.

The Mariinsky’s top principal male, Leonid Sarafanov (the Prince in Decca’s Mariinsky Nutcracker, released in 2007) gives another virtuosic yet elegant performance as Basilio in this lively and colourful production.

Filmed in High-Definition, this film was recorded during the company’s successful visit to Vienna in 2006 and is part of Decca’s continuing association with this sensational ballet company, joining Swan Lake and the Nutcracker which were released in 2007.
