Barcelona Flamenco Ballet: Carmen

Second and final performance for Barcelona Flamenco Ballet’s reworking of Bizet’s iconic work with flamenco elements that effectively adapt the original to the realities of contemporary society. “The values that make Carmen a woman of our time, along with the adaptation of music and flamenco ballet infused with the distinctive signature of David Gutiérrez, place the work within a new paradigm — that of the universal myth and 21st-century flamenco.” This show has been reviewed enthusiastically in Europe and elsewhere; it should appeal effectively to fans of opera, flamenco, classical dance, music, and theatre alike.
