On 3 and 4 May, the Tbilisi Opera Ballet debuts at the Teatro Nouveau in Bologna with Don Quixote.
This is the Italian premiere of the ballet in the staging and new choreographic version by Alexei Fadeyechev and Nina Ananiashvili, with sets and costumes by Vyacheslav Okunev and lighting by Amiran Ananiashvili.
This performance looks back to Petipa's 1869 choreography, but also to later versions by Alexander Gorsky and Vakhtang Chabukiani, who was principal dancer and choreographer at the Tbilisi Opera House.
