Choreographer Jiri Bubenicek's Carmen celebrates the incredible inspiration of Bizet's timeless music in a completely new two-act ballet that also includes music by Albeniz, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Falla, orchestrated and adapted by Gabrielle Bonolis. The production emphasis aspects of the original drama, heightening the erotic atmosphere of the cigar factory and Carmen's wild spirit, and including a spectacular on-stage horse. The sensational choreography closely depicts the storyline of Prosper Merimee's original novella in a production that was hailed by critics as a triumph.
