About The Show
City Lights Entertainment presents Carmen by Antonio Gades and Carlos Saura
Experience the fiery passion of Antonio Gades' 'Carmen', where the raw intensity of flamenco dance brings Prosper Mérimée's classic tale to life. Premiered in 1983, this groundbreaking collaboration between choreographer Antonio Gades and filmmaker Carlos Saura masterfully intertwines Bizet's iconic score with authentic Spanish rhythms, creating a performance that has captivated audiences worldwide. The Antonio Gades Company continues to honour this legacy, delivering a ballet that is both a revolutionary classic and a testament to the enduring power of Spanish dance.
