  • Love and friendship triumph in Carlos Acosta's vibrant production of this dazzling ballet. Akane Takada of The Royal Ballet performs the Act III Variation as part of the recent live cinema screening. Find out more www.roh.org.uk/productions/do...
    Don Quixote is one of Marius Petipa's much-loved 19th-century classics - its story is drawn from Miguel de Cervantes's classic novel and set to Ludwig Minkus's score. The ballet has long been acclaimed for its virtuoso dancing, beautiful and technically demanding 'vision scene' and the famously bravura and breath-taking Act III pas de deux.
    Carlos Acosta's production was created for The Royal Ballet in 2013, and brings the sunshine of Spain and the exuberance of the entire Company to the stage. Acosta created new choreography for the gypsy scene in Act II, and uniquely for this production of Don Quixote added on-stage musicians. Warmth, charm and entertainment abound in this energetic and witty ballet, reflected too in the characterful backdrops of Tim Hatley's vibrant designs.

    I love how Akane brings a different dynamic to Kitri. We all know Kitri to be a vibrant, fierce and bold character. Akane has brought a more calmer, softer and almost teasing Kitri. I love the usual portrayal of Kitri but I also actually enjoy the softer side that Akane has brought.

      Although I think Akane is an amazing dancer I have to disagree. Kitri is, and always will be a fiery, out-of-control teenager and although I think Akane's technique is a 10/10 I also think she needs to work on character

      She's got such talent as a ballerina. I am amazed at her skills. My mother was a ballerina herself a long time ago, and she's in awe at how great of a dancer Akane is. I have never watched a performance with her, but I hope to one day. I think that the Royal Ballet films their performances and sells them as a DVD, maybe I can find one of her performances that way.

    how is no one talking about her roll-through? and those flying saut de chats? that's what makes her performance so special and satisfying to watch! you don't see any other ballerina roll through her shoes so satisfyingly, smoothly, and with no wobble like akane does. and how she seems to freeze midair in her saut de chats is absolutely gorgeous; to me, it's much more pretty to have that freeze moment in the leaps than to have a wobbly oversplit saut de chat. akane is wonderful!

    I honestly don't know how some people commenting can be so negative! I went to the cinema screening last week and I thought the entire production was outstanding. My 82 year old grandmother (an ex- ballet dancer) told me she thought it was one of the most beautiful ballets she has ever watched. (High praise as she has seen countless!). This is supposed to be a ballet of pure fun and enjoyment and some of you critics need to lighten up!

    I personally really love her Kitri. Usually, Kitri gives me the impression of a young, bubbly, extroverted girl who doesn't quite know what's happening and just enjoys wherever life takes her. Akane's Kitri, on the other hand, is much more mature, she knows about the difficulties of life. However, she also knows about her appeal to men and she decides to actively have fun with this, flirting and enjoying her youth and freedom.
    I think that both interpretations of Kitri fit the choreography, the music etc. equally well and I love both of them.

      同感です。それもAsianという括りが不思議です。だってAsianであっても、この国際時代ではひとくくりには出来ないですから。例えば、私の親戚はCanadianとGerman、JapaneseとNative Americanの4つが混ざってある意味、無国籍な風貌で誰も「~人」だとは当てられないです。確かに国籍はCanadianですが。もう国籍や生まれた国で、characteristicやskin toneを区別するのは、非常にbackwardで古くさい言い分かなと思います。また私の姪の親友はhalf Japanese and half Tanzanianで、国籍は日本人です。(お父様も現在日本国籍取得したから)だけど、浮世絵で見る「日本人」とも違えば、タンザニア人から見ると平均的なタンザニア人でもないと言われ、だからAsianといわれても、みんなそれぞれ違うというわけです。
