On 26 September, the National Ballet of Slovenia will stage an open‑air performance of Don Quixote at Paphos Castle, a historic fortress in the city of Paphos, Cyprus.
Paphos Castle, whose stone walls date back several centuries, has served as a stronghold for both Venetian and Ottoman rulers. The venue’s ancient architecture will provide a dramatic backdrop for the ballet’s choreography, with dancers performing pirouettes across the fortress courtyards.
The event is part of a broader cultural initiative aimed at positioning Cyprus as a new point on the world’s cultural map. By hosting internationally renowned performances in historic sites, the initiative seeks to attract visitors and highlight the island’s rich heritage.
Attendees can expect a unique blend of classical ballet and the historic ambiance of Paphos Castle, offering a fresh cultural experience in a setting that has witnessed centuries of history.
