Carmen – A Ballet in Two Acts

Music: Albeniz, Bizet, Bonolis, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Falla

Choreographer Jiří Bubeníčeks Carmen celebrates the incredible inspiration of the timeless music of Bizet in a completely new ballet in two acts, including music by Albéniz, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Falla, orchestrated and arranged by Gabriele Bonolis. The production emphasizes aspects of the original drama, highlights the erotic atmosphere of the cigar factory and the wild spirit of Carmen, and includes a spectacular stage horse. The sensational choreography accurately depicts the plot of Prosper Mérimée’s original novel in a production that has been hailed by critics as a triumph.
