For the first time, Vietnamese audiences have the opportunity to enjoy this famous work with the original version by famous choreographer Marius Petipa.
Inspired by the novel of the same name by Cervantes, the ballet "Don Quixote" - choreographed by the legendary Marius Petipa in 1869, music by Ludwig Minkus - takes the audience on an adventure between "dream" and "reality" of the knight Don Quixote.
