Ballet San Antonio - Carmen

Love her at your own risk

Bizet's flaming femme fatale blazes into the stage in an eruption of lust and passion in this ballet adaptation of the famous opera. Beautiful yet filled with raw emotion, to fall for Carmen only spells danger, as her untamable spirit engulfs you wholly. But warnings don't stop hapless Don Jose falling into her trap. A world premiere by Artistic Director, Willy Shives, expect all of the exhilaration, drama, and force of the opera, and then some!

What is the story of Carmen?

Carmen is a provocative Gyspy woman, whose short temper brings her to the attention of the kind and charismatic Don Jose, who falls head over heels in love with her. A thrilling tale of love found and ruthlessly taken, Carmen is one of Opera's most vivid and engaging pieces, a dance of lust and revenge that go hand in hand, making for a fiery, unforgettable finale.
