Comedy opens ballet season
■The Eugene Ballet performs
the story of Kitri and Basilio
Eugene Ballet ‘Don Quixote
Hult Center
★★★★☆
By Jacquelyn Lewis
Oregon Daily Emerald
Ballet and comedy aren’t often
mentioned in the same sentence,
but “Don Quixote” was colorful,
lively and downright hilarious.
The Eugene Ballet triumphantly
kicked off its 2001-2002 perform
ance season at the Hult Center on
Saturday and Sunday with a zealous
realization of the Spanish classic.
Jennifer Martin, a principle
dancer for Eugene Ballet, performed
the role of Kitri in the story of an ec
centric old man who spends his
days chasing an imaginary maiden,
Dulcinea, and accidentally mistakes
Kitri for the maiden. Martin dazzled
the audience not only with her en
ergetic, concise movements, but
also with her exceptional acting
skills. When dancers truly love
what they are doing, it shows in
their performance. By the sparkle in
Martin’s eye and her edgy, captivat
ing dance style, it is easy to guess
that she’s in love with her career.
David Makhateli, a guest artist
from the Houston Ballet, was
Basilio, Kitri’s lover. Makhateli
danced with amazing vigor. He has
trained with the Royal Ballet
School in London, and his techni
cal proficiency proves it. The part
nership between Martin and
Makhateli truly carried the ballet.
Other noteworthy performers in
clude Shigemi Kurata, in her first
season as a principal dancer with
the Eugene Ballet, Hyoung II Joung,
Eloy Barragan and John Funk. Oth
er company members, along with
students from the Eugene School of
Ballet, made up the rest of the cast.
If the wide array of sheer talent
wasn’t enough, the ballet was
topped off with realistic yet inven
tive scenery by Robert O’Hearn.
The EB seems to be growing in this
respect, with its set design becom
ing better and better each season.
Compared to last year’s “Swan
Lake,” the set design for “Don
Quixote” was far superior.
Other credits include guest chore
ography by the accomplished Anna
Marie Holmes, music by Leon
Minkus, costumes by David Heuvel
and lighting design by Kelly Baum.
Watching “Don Quixote,” I was
overcome by the sense of how lucky
I am to live in a town that offers such
a wide variety of the arts. From punk
concerts to our own ballet company,
we have it all. For those who missed
“Don Quixote,” the Eugene Ballet
has many more performances
planned this season, including “The
Nutcracker” in December and “Alice
in Wonderland” in February.
The Eugene Ballet received a
standing ovation Saturday night,
and I was standing, too. It definitely
wasn’t the first time — or the last.
