Choreography Jean Grand – Maître
Live Music Georges Bizet, Rodion Shchedrin

“Jean Grand-Maître’s Carmen is a portrayal of magical, captivating dance that exalts sensuality and an alluring sexual energy. It is an emotionally vivid and dramatic ballet that echoes the percussive, strikingly memorable score.” John Alleyne

Romance. Seduction. Uncontrollable passion. Inspired by Prosper Mérimée’s original French novella and Georges Bizet’s most popular opera, Carmen tells the tragic love story of a fiery Gypsy temptress who pushes the men in her life to the explosive limits of their savagery.
