Mariinsky Ballet: Don Quixote

St Petersburg's mighty Mariinsky Ballet has been performing in London for over 50 years. Of course, back then, they were called the Kirov and they came from Leningrad, but while the names change, the company's proud tradition and superlative technique stays solidly in place. 'Don Q' is a big ol' knees-up of a ballet, with lots of big jumps, skirt swishing and Spanish sizzle.
