sizzles with sensuality and colour. With pulsating gypsy rhythms, hummable tunes and a tragic tale of love and revenge, it has captivated audiences for generations.
Turning the opera into a full-length ballet was a pleasure, says choreographer Veronica Paeper."It was a creative process I enjoyed enormously... I tend to enjoy creating ballets with characters I would have loved to dance myself, and Carmen was certainly one of those. She more or less created herself."
The storyline is pure drama: Carmen, a gypsy girl who works at a cigarette factory, finds herself on the wrong side of the law and uses sexual wiles to secure her release from Don José, the soldier sent to arrest her. Don José ditches his village sweetheart and deserts his military duties to throw in his lot with Carmen and her band of smugglers. But Carmen's head is soon turned by a dashing bullfighter.
