...just pretend I have an actual subject line, please
In last week's deathmatch, we found that the ultimate program to Samson and Delilah was performed by Davis and White. You go, Marlie!
This time, we're moving from an opera to a ballet. Welcome, _skating, to the
SKATING DEATHMATCH: DON QUIXOTE EDITION!
Don Quixote is a ballet originally staged in four acts and eight scenes, based on an episode taken from the famous novel Don Quixote de la Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes. Originally choreographed by Marius Petipa to the music of Ludwig Minkus. First presented by the Ballet of the Imperial Bolshoi Theatre of Moscow, Russia on 26 December 1869. Petipa and Minkus revised the ballet in far more expanded and elaborated edition in five acts and eleven scenes for the Imperial Ballet, first presented on 21 November 1871 at the Imperial Bolshoi Kamenny Theatre of St. Petersburg.
IT'S A MUSICAL ADAPTATION.

-I'm including any performance I can find with the featured music in it, even if other pieces are used as well
-vote "someone else" and comment with a video if I inadvertently left out your favorite!
Have fun!
