Don Quixote at the Alexandrinsky Theatre: Johan Kobborg’s New Take on the Classic
In Saint Petersburg, at the Alexandrinsky Theatre, viewers will see an outstanding piece of classical ballet — Don Quixote performed by the Leonid Yakobson Ballet Theatre. This performance, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Marius Petipa’s birth, has become a real event in the world of art and was included in the program of the prestigious Golden Mask festival.
