We chatted to Lachlan Monaghan who is playing the role of Espada in Birmingham Royal Ballet's Don Quixote. The beautiful ballet production can be seen at Lowry, Salford (Thu 5th - Sat 7th March 2026). Karen Ryder asked the questions.
In this first revival of his 2022 production Director Carlos Acosta delivers entertainment for all ages. Don Quixote introduces us to Cervantes’ famous knight himself, lovers Kitri and Basilio, and a host of supporting characters. As the Don sets out on a quest to track down his true love, with his loyal friend and servant Sancho Panza at his side, he finds himself embroiled in an unlikely adventure of love and dreams.
If you like Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, you shouldn’t miss this stunning 19th-century masterpiece, full of thrilling pas de deux, delightful music played by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, and much, much more!
Treat yourself and all your family to some Spanish sunshine.
