The Miami City Ballet wraps its 2013-14 season at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts from March 28-30 with a flourish—and an epic windmill battle, with Don Quixote.

MCB’s final performance of the season will take on the ballet based on Miguel de Cervantes’ famed novel, Don Quixote de la Mancha. Staged in four acts and eight scenes, the ballet transports the audience to imperial Spain, where heroic bullfighters, mysterious gypsies, gargantuan spiders, giants and Sancho all converge for a story of chivalry and love as Don Quixote searches for his beloved Dulcinea. Alexander Gorsky adapted the choreography from Marius Petipa, while the music is by Ludwig Minkus.
- Showtimes are Friday, March 28 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, March 29 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.; Sunday, March 30 at 1 p.m.
- Tickets range from $20-$95.

Although Don Quixote marks the end of the 2013-14 season, MCB is already looking toward the future, announcing its twenty-ninth season, which will include four company premieres:
On November 21, Miami City Ballet will debut its 2014-15 season at the Kravis Center with Romeo and Juliet set to a score by Sergei Prokofiev—a sold-out program during the company’s twenty-fifth season (get your tickets early!).
