The Rising Star Dance Studio will mark its 30th anniversary with a full-length ballet performance of Don Quixote, at M Theatre, New Phetchaburi Road, on June 7 at 3pm.
Don Quixote was first performed as a ballet at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1869. It is based on segments from the novel by Miguel de Cervantes published in 1605. The well-known and highly energetic original choreography was by Marius Petipa to the score by Ludwig Minkus.
Performances by Rising Star have become an eagerly anticipated mainstay of the Bangkok arts scene. As director of the Studio, Fay Pansringarm brings many years of experience as a ballet dancer, director and choreographer in New York City to her work in Thailand, combining the charm of younger dancers with the powerful performances of professionals.
