Carlos Acosta\u2019s Don Quixote \u2013 a dance experience of a life time!<\/b><\/h1>\n

\u00a0Royal Opera House Covent Garden –\u00a0<\/b>\u00a08, 14, 19,\u00a021, 22 of January 2015\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are not enough words in my opinion to describe the talent of Carlos Acosta, the amazing Cuban dancer and choreographer. He is simply unique style, classical in every way but with the Cuban touch, his humour, technical brilliance and imagination make him simply one of the greatest of all time, both as dancer and choreographer.<\/p>\n
