General InterestDon Quixote: The Royal Ballet [2014] [Region Free]Carlos Acosta's first venture directing one of ballet's 19th century classics was eagerly anticipated, as was his own starring role in the production (as Basilio), opposite the Argentinian Royal Ballet principal Marianella Nuez (Kitri). Still built on Petipa's original choreography, Acosta's clear dramatic structure and vivid stage action gave the boy gets girl despite her father story a more convincing air than usual, with Don Quixote's parallel obsession with Dulcinea-Kitri coherently woven into the plot. Press Reviews "... when Acosta and Nez, as the story's sweethearts, start sparring, they manage a natural, coquettish rapport that's quite irresistible, Acosta's megawatt charisma balanced by Nez's fizzy, feisty, fan-wielding vigour. This translates seamlessly into their partner work and firecracker solos... Meanwhile, there are terrific supporting character performances from Gary Avis and Bennet Gartside, and a sharp and humorously turbo-machismo turn from Ryoichi Hirano as the toreador Espada." (Metro) "What Acosta has principally aimed for is to clarify the narrative, find a more contemporary vibe for the characters and, above all, to rediscover the ballet's fun. In that, he has largely succeeded. He also has Marianela Nunez as his Kitri, whose triumph was not only to dance and flirt her way radiantly through first night nerves, but to find in Kitri a delicacy and detail that is often overlooked in the role's grandstanding technique." (The Guardian) "... a jovial and entertaining showcase for classical dancing at its most demanding and exuberant. One of the pleasures of this ballet is to be tickled by Minkus's infectiously melodious score... Marianela Nuez and Acosta delivered sparky, engaging performances." (The Times) "But while this may be Acosta's night, the show really belongs to his Kitri, Marianela Nuez. A woman of sparky personality, teasing wit and steely technique, you can see why every man in the village is in love with her. The stage could have been a lot dimmer without her, but Nuez brings bewitching warmth and down-to-earth humanity to this fantastical folly of a show.
