Don Quixote (Pas de deux)
The great pas de deux from Don Quixote is probably the culminating moment of Marius Petipa's famous ballet to music by L. Minkus but, above all, it has become known to the general public as one of the most brilliant and difficult pieces in the obligatory repertoire. of the dancers best gifted in terms of virtuosity.
It is the most famous of the fragments extracted from Petipa's work and brings together some of the most beautiful and difficult choreographic figures of classical ballet.
