Boston Ballet unleashes its young stars in ‘Don Quixote’ Ballet unleashes young stars in ‘Quixote’ - Arts

No dance work is as closely associated with Boston Ballet as “Don Quixote,” which the company will present at the Boston Opera House starting Thursday. Thirty years ago, Rudolf Nureyev — then a still-spry 44 — staged his version of the 1869 Marius Petipa ballet for the company and also danced the part of Basilio. That production put Boston Ballet on the international dance map.
