On 25 November the role of Basilio in the ballet Don Quixote will be performed by Bolshoi Theatre principal Vyacheslav Lopatin.
The creative exchange between the Mariinsky and Bolshoi Theatres continues. Last season Mariinsky Ballet soloists Timur Askerov and Andrei Yermakov appeared at the Bolshoi in The Legend of Love, while Mariinsky Theatre performances featured Yekaterina Krysanova and Ruslan Skvortsov. This season’s performances featuring the guest artists open with Don Quixote with Bolshoi Theatre principal Vyacheslav Lopatin in the lead role. The dancer has had the role of Basilio in his repertoire for over five years and Vyacheslav Lopatin has performed it not just with the Bolshoi Ballet but also with the Tokyo Ballet, and has also danced versions by Alexei Fadeyechev and Vladimir Vasiliev’s production. In St Petersburg Vyacheslav Lopatin will be learning his third version of Don Quixote.
