 el_Ballet\nEvent Date Begin: 2010-02-20\nEvent Date End: 2010-02-20\n\nPre
 sented by Music Worcester and performed by the critically acclaimed Israel
  Ballet.   Today Don Quixote is considered one of the most joyous and fest
 ive of the classical ballets\, brimming with spectacular virtuoso dancing.
  At the same time this abundance of dancing is well organised\, showing a 
 clear choreographic and dramatic vision.  A short prologue based on mime a
 ction is followed by an act called A Square in Barcelona\, in which classi
 cal choreography imitating the 'Spanish Style' is predominant\, with a spr
 inkling of character dances.  The second act\, The Gypsy Camp\, comes as a
  sharp contrast- here pantomime and characters dancing reign supreme (alth
 ough some 15 years ago this scene also contained a lyrical pas de deux for
  the two main characters).  The next act\, Dulcinea's Garden\, is a purely
  classical one in which only female dancers appear. This is followed by A 
 Tavern in Seville\; once again\, there is plenty of character dancing and 
 acting- and traditionally\, even the ballerina wears heeled shoes in the s
 cene.  The final wedding celebration is an extended classical grand pas wi
 th the now famous pas de deux of the main characters.  The characters of t
 he ballet do much more than just perform their numerous variations\, howev
 er\; they express their thoughts and emotions through dancing\, and each c
 haracter has his or her own idiosyncrasies which are expressed in the chor
 eography itself.  Don Quixote is also distinguished by what can be called 
 its democratic spirit: the only 'noble cavalier' in the ballet is Gamache\
 , and he is the butt of everyone's jokes and tricks. Don Quixote himself i
 s treated with an increasing irony\, friendly though it may be. By contras
 t\, Kitri and Basilio are heroes of the people\; they belong to the crowd 
 and the crowd interferes in their lives without any second thoughts.  To b
 uy tickets before January 4\, 2010\, please contact Music Worcester at 508
