The Joffrey Will Close it's 2019-2020 Season with the Return of DON QUIXOTE
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Jan. 29, 2020
The Joffrey closes its 2019-2020 season with the return of Yuri Possokhov's inspired Don Quixote, conceived and created for the Joffrey in 2011, which, at the time, became the first commission of an evening-length ballet by the Joffrey in over 60 years. Don Quixote is presented in ten performances only, April 22-May 3 at the Auditorium Theatre. Don Quixote marks the Joffrey's final production at the Auditorium Theatre. The Company moves to the Lyric Opera House with the start of the 2020-2021 season.
A bright and humorous story, Possokhov's fresh interpretation of this revered ballet classic revolves around Don Quixote, an aging and eccentric nobleman, who imagines himself to be a valiant knight. With his trusted sidekick Sancho Panza in tow, Quixote sets out on a fateful journey, ready to breathe life into a world where windmills become monsters and adventure awaits beyond the horizon.
Don Quixote is a multimedia production and a lighthearted ballet about bravery, fantasy, and love, making it an ideal performance for audiences of all ages.
