Rapture of flamenco

Welcome the New Year with the classic dance-drama Carmen brought to you by the Antonio Gades Company.

Choreographed by Spanish flamenco dancer Antonio Gades (1936-2004), it is based on French writer Prosper Merime's eponymous novel about a spirited gypsy girl, Carmen. She captivates numerous men with her enchanting beauty and ultimately falls victim to the fury of her lover.

The theater version of Carmen eschews her portrayal as a frivolous woman and instead shows her as one sincere in love and her quest for freedom.
