About

In this two-act ballet inspired by the same Prosper Mérimée novella on which the beloved Bizet opera is based, Jiří Bubeníček takes the fiery tale of Carmen from the page to the ballet stage. His version, hewing as closely as possible to the source novella, highlights the dramatic intensity of the story and offers a thrilling exploration of its themes of amorous passion and all-consuming jealousy. Bizet is just one of several composers whose work scores this modern adaptation, alongside that of Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albéniz, and Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, in brilliant arrangements by Gabriele Bonolis.
