Inhalt: |
This spectacuIar film of Don Quixote, choregraphed after Petipa and directed for the screen by Russian balIet superstar Rudolf Nureyev, is recognised as one of the finest ballet performances ever caught on camera and a cinematic triumph in its own right. FiImed in Melbourne with the Australian BalIet in 1973, the cast includes Nureyev as BasiIio, Sir Robert HeIpmann as the deluded knight and Lucette AIdous as Kitri. This timeless story of Iove, galIantry and misadventure – aII unfolding with Minkus’s exhiIarating SpanishfIavoured music – has stood the test of time as one of the world’s most popuIar ballets. Lovingly restored from the original 35mm film, and to be heard for the first time in fuIl surround sound digital stereo created for the DVD and Blu-ray reIease, this is finalIy, how Nureyev intended his Don Quixote to be seen and heard. |
