… a crying moon, ominous cacti, the laughable Gamache, and a show-stealing donkey … Bravura technique, quicksilver fouettés, and dramatic ensemble work … we’re in for a good laugh, the highest order of entertainment, and brilliant ballet.

D I R E C T O R ’ S

“�”

Whether you prefer Kindle, Nook, tablet, or book, great literature offers us blissful detours from reality. It is the penned pages of 17th-century Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra which provide the inspiration for the adventures you are about to embark on. How appro-priate it is that we are introduced to our protagonist in his majestic and musty library amidst towers of books. Here we find our endearing Don—delusional, determined, and ready to defend honor wherever he may be needed. Add a petty thief from the marketplace named Sancho Panza, and a dynamic duo is born.

Though Cervantes is revered as one of the great Spanish sons, the ballet Don Quixote finds its roots in Russia. Originally choreographed for the Bolshoi by Marius Petipa in 1869 and later revived by Alexander Gorsky in 1900, the version PNB presents is the work of Russian-born choreographer and former Bolshoi director Alexei Ratmansky. Alexei is humble to a fault and wants no choreographic credit for this masterpiece, preferring to give credit to Petipa and Gorsky, but I assure you this winsome production bears his mark. It was created in 2010 for Het National Ballet in Amsterdam, a company of some eighty dancers. In the midst of restaging the ballet three years ago, I realized we could not offer Alexei the twelve couples needed for the Fandango in Act III. I asked if he might consider reworking the dance for six couples. On his final day, with only 45 minutes to spare, he re-choreographed the number to stunning effect. The man is a genius and a modest one at that. To see more of his innovation, don’t miss his Concerto DSCH, paired with Carmina Burana, later this spring.

Alexei is a storyteller of the first order, infusing this lighthearted comedy with just the right dose of sweetness. Imagine tasty sangria served at sunset. How we laugh at the antics of our young lovers, Kitri and Basilio—she with her feisty temper and he with his winning charm. How dear to see Kitri’s reverence for the aging Don. Alexei

doesn’t stop there, giving us a crying moon, ominous cacti, the laughable Gamache, and a show-stealing donkey. These whimsical theatrical touches play backdrop to some of the most exciting dancing of the season. Bravura technique, quicksilver fouettés, and dramatic ensemble work will have you cheering. Yes, we’re in for a good laugh, the highest order of entertainment, and brilliant ballet.

The entire show arrived in our port from halfway around the world on nine shipping containers. Our scenic crew and costume shop unpacked and rebuilt what appears to be most of Barcelona, with costumes for the entire population of Spain. Hats off to all of them for their work on this lavish production. The wigs alone would make your head spin.

Our artistic staff was able to reset much of the choreography this time around, but Sonja Marchiolli returned to Seattle to do the work of many with precision, humor, and insight. Seattle’s own Sara de Luis brought out our Spanish flair once again with her fans, capes, and castanets.

Productions as grand and magnificent as this one take a team, and an essential part of that team is Jim Ingalls, a lighting designer

of the first order, who brings Mediterranean light into our Northwest winter like Caneletto with a paintbrush. Watch for Jim’s touch on PNB’s new Nutcracker next winter. Another artist integral to this production is PNB’s friend, Jérôme Kaplan (Roméo et Juliette and Giselle). Jérôme is a master of the cloth and the palette.

We are the only company in the United States to present this pre-eminent version of a great classic, and it is because of your support as single ticket buyers, subscribers, and donors. Many of you rallied to help us present Don Quixote once again. A special thank-you to Chap and Eve Alvord, Janet and Bill True, Barb and Charlie Wright, and Bonnie and Jim Towne for leading our “Fan Club” and making these performances a reality.

So put down this program or shut off your tablet because we’re headed for Spain. You might want to put on your sunglasses, carry a fan, and raise a glass (sangria perhaps) to toast this wonderful production. Thanks for joining us. Olé!

FROM THE PRESIDENT

PNB NEWS

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the return of the treasured production of Alexei Ratmansky’s Don Quixote. Set in sunny Spain, with a

wonderful score, beautiful scenery, lavish and colorful costumes, such talented artists, and a bit of humor, this is such a welcome escape this time of year.

PNB audiences were thrilled to see Don Quixote for the first time three years ago.

True, Bonnie Towne, Barbara & Charles B. Wright III, and an anonymous donor for their support of Don Quixote this season. We also thank donors who gave $1,000 or more to support the Don Quixote Fan Club. Support like yours makes productions like this truly dance.

A production as large as Don Quixote would not be possible without support from our Season Sponsors, ArtsFund and Microsoft, for which we extend our

deepest appreciation. I would also like to thank Dilettante Chocolates for supplying us with delectable desserts in the PNB donor lounges throughout the season. Additionally, we would like to express our gratitude to the Norman Archibald Charitable Foundation as a Supporting Sponsor of Don Quixote, and Regence BlueShield as an Opening Night Dinner sponsor.

How Cervantes’ Masterpiece Developed into a Virtuoso Ballet

If there is one work that has had a great impact on world literature, that work has to be El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, the magnum opus of Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. Cleverly parodying the medieval

romance while also taking advantage of the continued popularity of the genre, the book tells the story of an old man who has lost his grip on reality through reading too many tales of chivalry. As a knight errant, he goes out into the wide world, dreaming of a realm of law and justice, but thus dooming himself to be disappointed, ridiculed, and swindled.

The book (translated in English as The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de La Mancha) earned Cervantes the title of “founder of the modern novel.” It inspired many generations of writers and thinkers, the adventures of the knight errant and his squire were portrayed by famous artists, pieces of music were dedicated to the Don, and countless films and theater productions were based on the man who tilted at windmills.

The knight with the sad faceOver the past centuries, Cervantes’ novel has also been a source of inspiration for choreographers. As far as we know, the first ballet production of Don Quixote dates back to 1740. It was created by Franz Hilverding, who was a dancer and ballet master at the Viennese court. This was followed in 1768 by a second version, also presented in Vienna, by the Frenchman Jean-Georges Noverre. Though his works are no longer performed, Noverre is regarded as the man who freed ballet from its traditionally decorative role in operas and paved the way for dance as an independent, dramatically expressive art form.

In both productions, as in subsequent 18th-century and some early 19th-century versions, the main role was played by Cervantes’ “knight with the sad face.” However many differences in interpretation there may have been between countries and choreographers, they are all presumed to have been based on the first chapters of the novel. In these opening chapters, the Don has visions and sets off on his horse Rosinante, accompanied by Sancho Panza, whom he has appointed his squire, in order to do battle with the injustice of the world.

It was in Les Noces de Gamache, created by Louis Milon in 1801 for the Paris Opera, that the focus shifted for the first time to an episode from the second part of Cervantes’ novel. Instead of concentrating on the character

of Don Quixote, the story now revolved around the comic intrigues surrounding the lovers Quiteria (Kitri in the ballet) and Basilio, and the wealthy fool Camacho (Gamache), to whom Quiteria has been promised in marriage by her father. In this initial step towards the ballet we know today, the role of Basilio was danced by Auguste Vestris, who at the time was regarded as a real idol and who “modestly” called himself Dieu de la danse (God of the dance).

A crying moonAfterwards, the libretto of Milon’s ballet was used by other choreographers, including August Bournonville (for the production he created in Copenhagen in 1837) and Berbardo Vestris (1844/1845 for La Scala in Milan). Most importantly, however, he was the source of inspiration for Marius Petipa, whose version of Don Quixote, to music specially composed by Ludwig Minkus, was created for the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow in 1869. This version is the one that serves as the basis for all of today’s productions of the ballet.

Besides being the greatest choreog-rapher of the 19th century (with such ballets to his name as La Bayadère, The Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Lake), Petipa was also blessed with a good nose for topical themes. For instance, he created his successful ballet The Pharaoh’s Daughter following the spectacular archaeological excavations in Egypt, his inspiration for The Daughter of the Snows came from the first expeditions to the Pole, and he made Don Quixote at the time Cervantes’ novel was enjoying great popularity in Russia, having just been translated into Russian for the first time.

Aware of the worldly tastes of the Moscow audiences, Petipa (who had worked for a time in Spain) incorporated several Spanish folk dances and some theatrical scenes and elements into his production. For example, he had Don Quixote pursued in his visions by a group of dancing cactus men, and the scenery included a moon (in which the Don saw his beloved Dulcinea) that alter-nately laughed and cried big tears. When Petipa revised his work two years later for the Imperial Ballet in St. Petersburg, where the audience’s tastes were more sophisticated, he cut out such effects. He refined the Spanish character of the ballet and placed much greater emphasis on pure classical dancing.

Down with symmetry!Nearly thirty years and many productions later, the Russian choreographer Alexander Gorsky made two adaptations of Petipa’s Don Quixote, also with an intervening period of two years: one in Moscow (1900) and one in St. Petersburg (1902). Petipa was then 82 years old and was greatly displeased. In his memoires, he described Gorsky’s alterations as “meaningless innovations and changes” and accused him of seriously lowering the quality of his production. The main change Gorsky made was to heighten the dramatic expression and therefore give the corps de ballet a bigger role in the action. He scattered the dancers over the stage, thus breaking with the strictly symmetrical lines and patterns of his predecessor. As he explained to a journalist prior to the Moscow premiere, he hated symmetry.

It is uncertain precisely which aspects of later productions of Don Quixote come from Gorsky and which have been preserved from Petipa’s original production. Today’s productions of the ballet often combine symmetrical scenes in the first act with asymmetrical choreography in the dream scene, which fact alone supports the view that present-day versions of Don Quixote bear the hallmarks of both choreographers.

Don Quixote’s journey to the West For a long time, Don Quixote was almost exclusively reserved for audiences in Russia, where it is still received with overwhelming success today, presented by the Maryinsky Ballet (with additions by Fyodor Lopukhov and Nina Anisimova) and the Bolshoi Ballet (in the 1940 version by Rotislav Zakharov). The Russian dancer Anna Pavlova did dance a much shorter version of the ballet in the West, which was premiered in London in 1924. But it was only around forty years later that the first full-length 20th-century performances took place. In 1966, the Bolshoi Ballet danced Don Quixote in New York. Four years earlier, the ballet was performed for the first time in over a century by a Western company—the British Ballet Rambert—in a version staged by Vitold Borkovski from Poland.

However, it was mainly the versions by Rudolf Nureyev (created for the Vienna State Opera in 1966) and Mikhail Baryshnikov (created for American Ballet Theatre in 1978) that contributed to the growing popularity of the ballet in the West. These two star dancers, who emigrated from Russia, based their versions on the Petipa/Gorsky production, and each danced the role of Basilio in their own inimitable style.

Incredibly strong techniqueThe majority of 20th-century productions of Don Quixote are set to the music of Ludwig Minkus, with occasional additions by other composers. However, some chore-ographers chose to use different music. Particularly noteworthy among them are the 1979 version by John Neumeier, to music by Richard Strauss, and the 1965 version by choreographer George Balanchine and composer Nicolas Nabokov. In the latter, Balanchine himself danced the role of the knight errant and admirer of Dulcinea, whose role was danced by the nineteen-year-old Suzanne Farrell.

Over the past years, many dancers have contributed to the fame and glory of the characters of Dulcinea/Kitri and Basilio. They are some of the most challenging roles in the classical ballet repertory. The ballerina needs incredibly strong pointe technique, her partner has to be able to pirouette endlessly, and a light-hearted nonchalance and explosive jumps are demanded of them both. A new standard was set for the role of Kitri in the fifties and sixties by the Russian ballerina Maya Plisetskaya, and this was followed by outstanding interpretations from Gelsey Kirkland from the United States, Sylvie Guillem from France, and Diana Vishneva from Russia, among others.

Act ONE

books have disappeared, which he believes to be the work of an angry archenemy. In his imagination, he wages battle against this enemy. There, he sees the beautiful Dulcinea, who is held captive by monsters and is crying for help. Don Quixote imagines rescuing her.

Suddenly, the household is startled by a loud noise. It is coming from a group of women chasing a yokel who has stolen a cockerel from them at the market. The irritated Don doesn’t understand what they want and sends them away. Then he discovers the thief, Sancho Panza, who has crawled in through the window during his escape. In Sancho Panza, the Don sees the squire he needs so badly as a prospective knight errant. And together, the “knight” and his squire set off into the wide world.

SCENE 2A huge crowd is milling around on a square in Barcelona. Kitri, the daughter of the innkeeper Lorenzo, is having fun with her friends, Juanita and Piccilia, and flirting with the young barber Basilio. The couple is in love, but Kitri’s father won’t hear of their marriage. He wants his daughter to marry a rich suitor, the rather ridiculous Gamache, who lives opposite the inn. But Kitri ignores his advances and, to her father’s fury, haughtily rejects him.

As it is a public holiday, there are performances on the square. First comes Mercedes, a street dancer, followed by a group of bullfighters, including the famous torero Espada, who swing their capes and dance bullfighting scenes. Then two

SCENE 1In Don Quixote’s study, his niece Joanna is talking to Carasco, his servant. They are worried about the Don, who is slowly but surely being driven mad by all his reading. They therefore decide to hide the Don’s books.

Meanwhile, Don Quixote comes into the study, totally absorbed in his umpteenth novel about knights in armor. He identifies with the knights who roamed the world long before his time and fought for a lady’s honor at tournaments. He discovers that his Line drawings by Megan Christie.

strange-looking characters arrive: Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. While the latter is teased and taunted by the women on the square, Don Quixote is overwhelmed by the beauty of Kitri, in whom he recognizes his dream woman Dulcinea. To make Basilio jealous, she plays up to the Don’s advances. But when the square erupts in commotion because Sancho Panza has stolen food again, she and Basilio seize their chance to escape together, hotly pursued by Lorenzo and Gamache.

except for a battered Don Quixote, attended to by Sancho Panza. The dazed Don thinks the windmills on the plateau are monsters and he sees Dulcinea in the moon.

SCENE 2At night, Don Quixote is plagued by dreams. Gradually his nightmare turns into a heavenly vision. He dreams of seductive wood nymphs and charming cherubs. And the radiant central figure in all this bliss is his Dulcinea. As the Don has saved her and vanquished the monsters, the queen of the wood nymphs crowns him with a laurel wreath. Sancho Panza appears and tries to revive his master with wine. When the Don finally wakes up, Sancho Panza, Joanna, and Carasco take him back to his home.

Act THREESCENE 1Kitri and Basilio are enjoying themselves with Espada, Mercedes, and a group of friends in a tavern filled with gypsies, bullfighters, and other high-spirited folk. Kitri thinks she has escaped her forced marriage to Gamache. Unfortunately, it is not so easy, as her father and his followers manage to find them this time. The lovers hide, but Kitri is found and taken home.

SCENE 2But then Basilio appears and stabs himself because his heart is broken. Kitri realizes straightaway that he has only pretended to kill himself. Supposedly broken-hearted, she begs Don Quixote to persuade Lorenzo

to give his blessing to her and the dead Basilio. After all, she can still marry Gamache afterwards, as a widow. But as soon as the blessing has been given, Basilio jumps up. He has fooled everyone. Gamache is furious and challenges the Don to a duel. But neither of them can fight, and Lorenzo becomes reconciled to his fate. And while the wedding of Kitri and Basilio is being celebrated, the Don and his squire go off in search of new adventures.

Act TWOSCENE 1On a plateau in the mountains, a troupe of traveling actors has set up camp. Kitri and Basilio appear and ask the actors to help them escape. While the group performs, Kitri and Basilio put on costumes and join in. When Lorenzo and Gamache arrive at the camp, they are told Kitri and Basilio have left and are pointed in the opposite direction. Their departure is followed by the arrival of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. The Don watches the performances and sees the characters in the play as real; however, he does not realize that Kitri is part of the performance. When he sees the princess is being beset by the devil, he destroys the whole camp. Everyone leaves

quarters, yet nearly half of PNB Orchestra musicians have played all 25 seasons—so what keeps them coming back? Principal Flutist Karla Flygare shares, “It is a wonderful collection of good musicians and good colleagues.” Cellist Meg Brennand echoes, “We have formed supper clubs and book clubs and we all have lots of history together, some going back to childhood. Some of my very closest friends are members of PNBO. Our kids have become best friends!” And Nelson concludes, “It sounds so cliché to say that it feels as though we’re a big family, but I genuinely feel that way about the Orchestra!”

Playing in a professional ensemble is the dream of many a young musician, but what is it really like down there in the PNB Orchestra pit?

Under The Stage, On Their ToesBallet orchestras face a unique challenge: orchestral accompaniment is essential to the art form, but the musicians are hidden below stage. Orchestra pits are typically wide and shallow, making it impossible for musicians to hear what Principal Horn Rodger Burnett calls “the full sonic experience,” and yet the music must perfectly underscore each dance step. So how do they do it? Principal Clarinetist Jennifer Nelson explains that the Orchestra relies on its conductors to “…provide whatever the dancers need from us in terms of tempo or other nuances. Even the smallest variation in tempo can make or break things for a dancer.”

To facilitate this collaboration between the Company and Orchestra, McCaw Hall’s orchestra pit is outfitted with hydraulics to lift and lower the pit as needed. Look into the pit at intermission and you’ll see the pit has two levels; its front half sits higher, ensuring that the conductor is elevated enough to see dancers’ feet. Check out the floor for another crucial detail: thousands of tiny holes providing union-regulated venti-lation to keep the musicians comfortable no matter how full the house. This system

also ensures that air is constantly rising, so visual effects like fog won’t hamper the Orchestra’s playing.

Path to the PitHow can you become a full-time profes-sional musician? Like the old joke says, “Practice, practice, practice!” In a recent PNB Orchestra survey, nearly half of respondents said they had played their instrument for 15 to 20 years before becoming a professional musician, with many of those years occurring during childhood and adolescence. Prepare to be flexible: while Burnett reports that all of the Orchestra memb ers are f u l l - t ime musicians, most of them play with outside ensembles in a variety of genres, ranging from Seattle Baroque Orchestra to studio gigs. And plan to share your expertise: most PNB Orchestra members also teach either in their private studio or at a local institution.

Finally, playing in an orchestra pit makes for close

Joann and Amy Haugerud, mother and daughter, have been regular attendees at Pacific Northwest Ballet performances since its beginning in the 1970s. PNB is so much a part of their daily lives, they have also included it in their “post-life” plans.

JOANN: “Because of my love of dance and especially this dance company, about 15 years ago I set up an investment account with PNB as Designated Beneficiary. Starting small, I have added, traded, rearranged, withdrawn dividends, and done all that one does with such investments. The account has grown substantially over the years and I trust it will continue, so that when I conclude my earth life, PNB can use my contribution for student scholarships and helping to keep this wonderful company thriving.”

AMY: “It warms my heart to think of giving something of tangible value to PNB. It’s one way

of saying ‘thank you’ to the PNB artists and staff who have given me so much joy and inspiration over the years. So when I sat down to complete the latest iteration of my estate plan, I followed Mom/Joann’s lead by making PNB the beneficiary on one of my investment accounts. I’m delighted to know I will help future dancers create more beauty in the world.”

BOTH: “Doing this together adds to the fun of supporting PNB.”
