Ballet in Cinema: Bolshoi Ballet presents Don Quixote


Damariscotta, Maine - On Thursday, May 17 at 7 PM Lincoln Theater's ballet in HD series resumes when it presents the Bolshoi Ballet and its production of Don Quixote. This stunning production, based on the epic masterpiece by Miguel de Cervantes, was originally created for the Bolshoi by Marius Pepita in 1869 and was captured live in HD at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow. According to London's The Independent, “Don Quixote is a romp of a ballet, all flashing eyes, oompah tunes and virtuoso steps. Ivan Vasiliev and Natalia Osipova rampage through it, with outrageous charm and astounding technique. By the time we got to the curtain calls, the audience was standing and screaming for them.”  It will also be re-broadcast Sunday afternoon May 20 at 2 PM.  The Lincoln Theater is located at 2 Theater Street in Damariscotta.  Tickets are $15 for adults/ $5 for youth.  Additional information can be found on the theater's website www.atthelincoln.org or by calling 563 3424.
