About

The Yakobson Ballet Theatre's production of Don Quixote, choreographed by Johan Kobborg in 2017 for the 200th anniversary of Marius Petipa's birth. Kobborg — the Danish choreographer — preserved the key elements of the original Petipa choreographic text while adding new dance numbers that enrich the piece. The Yakobson Ballet Theatre is one of the working Petersburg ballet companies, named after Leonid Yakobson, the Soviet choreographer who ran his own ballet company from 1969. Performances at the Alexandrinsky Theatre. One of the more accessible ballet options in central Petersburg — a comedic and technically brilliant version of the Don Quixote canon.
