The ballet "Don Quixote" features a naively optimistic storyline that differs from the novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Nevertheless, the production has attracted audiences for decades, mainly due to its powerful dance elements. Created for Moscow, the city's influence can still be felt in the ballet's form. After the premiere, critics praised the performance as a "colorful and rich splendor in all elements"—from the theatrical, carnival-like atmosphere and passionate Spanish moods, to the virtuoso, fiery dances.
