Ana Marie Holmes’ Don Quixote returns to Tulsa Ballet with the reappearance of familiar faces and newly-acquired costumes and sets designed by Desmond Heeley.
Based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote takes place in 16th century Spain, a classical ballet full of bravura and humor, set to Ludwig Minkus’s famous score.
Two former principal dancer of Tulsa Ballet, Arman Zazyan and Alfonso Martin, will take on the title role and his sidekick, Sancho Panza, respectively.
Zazyan, who recently retired at the end of last season, is the company’s current Rehearsal Director and will continue to take on character roles for the rest of the company’s season.
Martin is TBII’s Artistic Manager and Rehearsal Director and, since his retirement in 2013, has performed as Herr Drosselmeyer in The Nutcracker and as Don Quixote back in 2017.
All performances of Don Quixote will be performed at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center with live musical accompaniment by the Tulsa Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Tulsa Ballet’s Resident Conductor Enrique Carreon-Robledo.
