Last seen on the Johannesburg stage five years ago, Joburg Ballet brings back Don Quixote. This powerful ballet is set in the bustling Spanish seaport of Barcelona and tells the story of beautiful, audacious Kitri and her love for the dashing but poor barber, Basilio.

Her father, however, has more ambitious plans for his headstrong daughter, hoping to marry her off to a wealthy but foppish suitor. But in the end, love conquers all in a cascade of classical ballet featuring celebrated showpieces, including the famous Don Quixote Pas de Deux.

The Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra will be in the orchestra pit to bring to life one of the most sparkling music scores ever created for ballet. The orchestra will be conducted by Eddie Clayton.

I am delighted to have a set of four family tickets, a signed pointe shoe and an autographed programme all valued at R 1 112.00 to give away to opening night on 13th March 2020 at 19h30 at Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein.

To stand a chance to win this incredible prize, make sure to comment below with the name of the ballet, where it is being held and why you deserve this prize – and it could be you!

Competition closes on 6th March and the winner will be contacted via email. Please note – this prize is not transferrable and may not be redeemed for cash.

Don Quixote will be staged at the Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein.

This year my partner and I are exploring more classical pieces and Don Quixote, in its return, proves to indeed be a timeless classic.

I also think my family will cherish having a piece of it remain with us in the form of a signed pointe shoe  as well as the autographed programme.

    Don Quixote, will be staged at the Jo’burg Theatre in Braamfontein.
    I honestly deserve to win as my birthday was on the 10th February & I didn’t even get a single gift or even a birthday card to celebrate my birthday.
    I’m not sad for not receiving a birthday gift, I possibly didn’t get any because I deserve more & better.
    Being an ardent Ballet enthusiast, this will certainly be a highlight of my year.

Don Quixote will be staged at the Joburg Theatre in Braamfontein.

It’s been 6 years since my son was born, prior to that my wife and i for 10 years watched every performance at the joburg theatre. My wife used to also take ballet classes at the joburg theatre daily. When my son was born he was a bit sickly and for the past 6 years she hasn’t seen a single show as their was always something more “important”. She is a lover of the art and converted me many months ago. This will almost be a dream Come through for her.

Don Quixote is an amazing ballet! So full of energy. Both of my children (my son, aged 8 and my daughter, aged 6) do ballet. My son has been begging to go. We are teaching them that a cultural education is also important. I feel that it is so often neglected and that the world is poorer because of it.
