Don Quixote ~ Mikhailovsky Theatre Saint Petersburg
Don Quixote ~ Ballett in three acts and a prologue ~ Music by Ludwig Minkus ~ Mikhailovsky Theatre Saint Petersburg
Colourful, vibrant, direct, spontaneous: all these epithets can be applied to Don Quixote, but none of them can fully convey the sense of joy that the ballet invariably arouses in the audience. The red capes of the toreadors, the strumming of guitars, the clicking of castanets, coquettish glances from behind open fans... The enchanting levity of the ‘ballet of Spain’ surges onto the Mikhailovsky Theatre stage. Each performer interprets this ballet in their own way. While it demands virtuosity and stamina, the dancers are given complete freedom of choice in the way they act the parts. It is possible to depict the sincerity and straightforwardness of the characters or present them as cunning deceivers; place an emphasis on simple domestic details, or portray fiery passions. The permutations are endless, and therein lies one of the secrets of the ballet’s phenomenal popularity.

Don Quixote is a renowned ballet in the Russian repertoire. It portrays a fantasy of an everlastingly sunny Spain. One of the most lively and joyful ballets in existence, it is not an adaptation of Cervantes’ famous novel, but an independent choreographic work by Marius Petipa and Alexander Gorsky, based on the novel’s themes. The ballet is staged to the music of Ludwig Minkus, and tells the tale of a decrepit old nobleman’s unsuccessful attempt to woo a young maiden and his inability to compete in love with his younger rival, an inventive and relentless poor barber. In 2012, the Mikhailovsky production was given a facelift by Ballet Master in Chief Mikhail Messerer. The Times wrote about the Mikhailovsky production: “Incredibly fresh and vibrant, it's a lusty rom-com whose exuberance is overwhelming and its attention to character a treat”.

Behind the curtain at the Mariinski Theatre - life
In this series, we will be discovering the most amazing places in the largest country on Earth, where life sometimes resembles a theatre - and a theatre can tell a lot about Russian Life.
At St Petersburg's Mariinski Theatre, there is rehearsal every morning. With more than 150 years of opera and ballet performances, the world-renowned theatre is a celebrated symbol of Russia's northern capital.
I can't imagine St Petersburg without the Mariinsky Theatre, as I can't imagine this theater anywhere else but in St Petersburg. The two are the same, says tenor Yevgeny Akimov..
Production designer Isabella Bywater is enchanted by the city:
I've done a lot of walking around St Petersburg, and it's beautiful, it's melancholy, it's dirty, and I love it!
This is my home theatre, this is my home city. The Mariinsky is my life!, says prima ballerina Diana Vishneva.
Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great, Saint Petersburg sees itself as Russia's cultural capital.
Tradition is kept alive at the Mariinsky Theatre with its constellation of opera and ballet stars, producers and designers.
We try to make everything by hand, because that really allows you put your heart into your creation, says Ludmila Mekhonoshina, head of the stage scenery art department at the Mariinsky Theatre.
Curtain sets and other scenery are made in the rooftop hall before being lowered onto the main stage, where masterpieces by Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov were premiered.
This is the theatre where Russian opera was born and thrived. It's like La Scala for the Italians - a stage that's a focal point for everything great - that's what the Mariinsky Theatre is, not just for St Petersburg but for Russia as a whole, says stage director Vasily Barkhatov.
Factfile: Saint Petersburg
* Founded by Peter the Great in 1703 as Russia's window to Europe, Saint Petersburg was the nation's capital from 1713 to 1728 and from 1732 to 1918. During World War I, the city was known as Petrograd; from 1924 to 1991 - Leningrad
* It remains Russia's second largest city after Moscow with almost 5 million inhabitants
* Designed and built largely by European architects, Saint Petersburg is known as Russia's most westernized city and its cultural capital
* It's the home to more than 200 museums -- including the Hermitage and The Russian State Museum, with some of the most significant art collections in the world
* Mid-June is peak time for white nights -- a natural phenomenon of never-setting sun, celebrated with massive festivals, concerts and parties
In the wardrobe department, they are never short of work - creating stage costumes for up to a dozen premieres each season.
Many foreign designers come to Saint Petersburg to see their creations come to life. Isabella Bywater is one of them:
I've worked in places where nobody cares about production anymore, because it's just like factory producing. We produce a lot of works, but I never feel like I'm working in a factory. There's a kind of unembarrassed enthusiasm for creativity, which is a real joy, she says.
By the evening, the stage is set for another performance.
Boris Godunov, an opera by Modest Mussorgsky based on Alexander Pushkin's tragedy, has been running here since the 19th century.
For this new production, British director Graham Vick sets the classical plot in modern Russia, contemplating decades of turbulent power struggle, social injustice and brutality following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Well, it actually does look like that from abroad. Whether we like it or not. This is how we, Russians, are today, says bass-baritone Yevgeny Nikitin.
As the golden age of Russian culture keeps shaping its national identity, its classical heritage remains as pertinent as ever.
Human nature doesn't change that much: it's the same today as what it was three centuries ago. Power, vanity, greed. History is always repeating itself, says baritone Alexei Markov.

Балет «Золушка». Трейлер / Cinderella. Trailer
Premiere at the Mikhailovsky Theatre: 14 September 2017
A modern version of the classic play from 1945, resurrected in a style fit for a digital-age audience. This production’s calling card has become its successful marriage of lovely ballet from years gone by and modern stage technology. Visual computer effects peacefully coexist with traditional costumes and props. Rostislav Zakharov, to whom the premiere is dedicated in celebration of the 110th anniversary of his birth, described his production as „a song about the spring of human life, youth, happiness and dreams“. While working on the new version, Mikhail Messerer followed the mood set by the ballet’s creator.
