Treat for ballet lovers in Sutherland with live screening of Don Quixote

East Sutherland Live Arts and Entertainment (ESLAE) is live-streaming the Royal Ballet’s production of Don Quixote later this month.

The event is taking place at Brora Primary School on Tuesday, November 7, with doors opening at 6.45pm for a 7.15pm curtain up.

Don Quixote is based on Miguel de Cervantes’ epic novel of the same name and regales the adventures of the eccentric nobleman Don Quixote and his faithful squire Sancho Panza as the pair help to bring a vivacious young couple, Kitri and Basilio together.

The energetic 19th century ballet is enlivened by Ludwig Minkus’ spirited score and is a wonderful showcase for the virtuosity of the Royal Ballet’s principal dancers.

Created for the Royal Ballet a decade ago, Carlos Acosta’s exuberant production featuring Tim Hatley’s characterful designs brings the heat and romance of Cervantes’ classic novel to life.

The ballet’s running time is three and a half hours, and there are two intervals.
