Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ classic novel, San Francisco Ballet’s Don Quixote is a rare comedy in its classical repertory. The production, which blends guitars, flamenco and castanets with orchestral music, is a showcase of chivalric knights and colorful village characters. Live flamenco by Theatre Flamenco of San Francisco is presented immediately following the performance on opening night as well as before all other evening performances. Ticket holders are invited before select performances for informative talks featuring artists in conversation with a moderator. Don Quixote is onstage at the War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Ave. in San Francisco from March 19-29. Tickets may be purchased online at sfballet.org or by calling Ticket Services at (415) 865-2000. For a look inside the Opera House visit sfwarmemorial.org/virtual-tour.
