[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] The Universal Ballet's performance of "Don Quixote" will be held at the Grand Theater of the Gyeongnam Culture and Arts Center on the 16th at 7:30 PM and the 17th at 3 PM.

The ballet "Don Quixote" is based on the novel "Don Quixote de la Mancha" by playwright Cervantes and was created in the 19th century by the genius composer Ludwig Minkus and choreographer Marius Petipa.

The Universal Ballet's "Don Quixote" centers on the love story of Basil, a poor but witty barber, and Kitri, the charming daughter of a tavern owner, differing from the original work. Don Quixote acts as a facilitator who helps their love come true.

The stage and costumes infused with Mediterranean romance and passion, humorous ballet mime, fast-paced story development, and the lively mishaps of strong-character personalities create a Spanish-style spectacular and technically brilliant dance feast that captivates the audience's eyes.

Founded on May 12, 1984, Universal Ballet is Korea's first private professional ballet company and has grown into a representative Korean ballet troupe by performing over 1,800 shows in 17 countries worldwide.

A representative of the Gyeongnam Culture and Arts Center stated, "The reason why the ballet 'Don Quixote' has been loved for over 160 years is that it contains no serious or tragic content and is a consistently lively and cheerful comedic ballet," adding, "Not only the exciting story but also the splendid corps de ballet presented by Universal Ballet will surely capture the hearts of Gyeongnam residents."
