ANTONIO GADES COMPANY in
CARMEN – U.S. PREMIERE of 25th ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION
“Drama of the highest order…heart-stopping” - The Times

Based on Carlos Saura’s Oscar-winning film and performed by one of Europe’s premier dance troupes, Carmen is the masterpiece which catapulted its choreographer, Antonio Gades, and his company to international fame. Brilliantly theatrical with its colorful costumes and mirror-defined set, this Carmen is a passionate retelling of one of the world’s most tempestuous tales of love and seduction, betrayal and revenge!

The scintillating score includes some of the most captivating melodies from Bizet’s gorgeous opera, plus music from the popular zarzuela El gato Montes.

ESTRELLA MORENTE
“In the hands of Morente, flamenco remains a living, breathing tradition.” BBC

Winner of the Flamenco.com award for Best Show of 2008, Estrella Morente is pop culture royalty in Spain! Her albums are big hits, and it is actually her strong, luscious voice you hear when Penelope Cruz sings in Pedro Almodovar’s Volver.

Hailing from Granada, Morente often performs songs from outside the traditional flamenco repertory—sephardic Jewish songs, Jacques Brel hits, for example—but all of them always with that riveting, unmistakable Andalusian spirit. “As everyone in Spain knows, when she sings, it can be difficult to take your eyes off her” (The New York Times).
