Don Quixote

Vibrant Spanish streets, daring romance and soaring choreography set the stage for Don Quixote, a spirited classic of the ballet canon.

Presented by Miami City Ballet as part of its 2025/2026 season, Don Quixote runs October 16–19 at the Adrienne Arsht Center. Marius Petipa’s dazzling choreography pairs with Ludwig Minkus’s exuberant score in this lively tale of love and imagination, as the idealistic Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza cross paths with the feisty Kitri and her beloved Basilio. Their adventure unfolds across festive village scenes, moonlit camps and whirlwind escapes, culminating in bold dancing and heartwarming celebration.

Featuring vivid sets and costumes by Santo Loquasto, this production celebrates the timeless joy of storytelling through movement.
