Passion and obsession fired by flamenco...

It's bold. It's sexy. It's the classic opera Carmen given a spectacular new treatment with flamenco and Spanish classical dance choreographed by award-winning Aída Gómez. Also playing the title role, she captivates audiences with her explosive performance as the fiery gypsy. Her superb artistry in dance and choreography comes alive on stage in this tale of seduction and passion, of love and obsession, of defiance and regret. Featured as Don José and Escamillo, rivals in their love for Carmen, are the charismatic Christiano Lozano and Primitivo Daza.

This latest production comes after a string of other successful works for stage and film that have won numerous awards and accolades for Aída Gómez, the youngest ever artistic director of the Spanish National Ballet. It also brings together the talents of director Emilio Sagi, who has led a host of productions at major theatre companies and festivals around the world such as Teatro alla Scala, Teatro Real and San Francisco Opera, and musical director José Antonio Rodríguez, also celebrated as a composer, flamenco guitar virtuoso, recording artist and producer. Performed to Bizet's operatic score as well as original music by Rodríguez, and featuring an ensemble of some of the best flamenco dancers in Europe, this is a Carmen like no other.
