Dragon Quest goes ballet

I will not pretend to be a scholar in the world of Dragon Quest, but this Dragon Quest ballet performed by the Star Dancers Ballet of Japan— while not based on any particular game's plot — seems to adapt most of the series' central motifs, weaving orchestral versions of the themes of the first four games into a mash-up gaiden following Torneko and Taloon through a prancing, symphonic adventure.

Hit play. Even if you don't care to watch all thirteen parts, the music is very relaxing to have going in the background. My only real criticism is that dancing isn't interrupted nearly enough with random battles with slimes, which to me is the true hallmark of the Dragon Quest pedigree.
