ABT would be lucky, IMO, to get the Ratmansky "Don Q." I find it much less heartless and caricaturish than most Don Q productions, where almost all of them are two-dimensional throw-away characters. (The Cuban National Ballet's Don is an exception, where there's a lot of genuine affection towards him, but he's still a peripheral character.) The opening scene which establishes Don Quixote and Sancho Panza's characters is about ten minutes long. In Seattle we had two casts with completely different dynamics, and an especially brilliant turn by Jonathan Porretta as Ganache, who was also a terrific Sancho Panza.
Kitri's two friends are meaty parts, and they have solos in the Grand Pas + 2. There are lovely demi-caractere roles in the acting troupe in the second act. The dream scene is rather lovely when done straight, and Kitri gets to keep some of her character, like a higher version of herself, not some cipher that's she's not like at all. Peter Boal said that the soloists were begging to be matadors, because of the grand moments of dancing with the bright-pink lined capes.
What I dislike about the DVD with Dutch National Ballet is that there's so much going on, and the camera has to choose. It's so much better to see when you choose yourself.
There may be a "Paquita" available as a fire sale, now that Zelensky has stomped through Munich.
