City Ballet’s Carmen

About the Event

Carmen:

This visually spectacular one-act production of Carmen, set in southern Spain, follows the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery Carmen. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties yet loses Carmen’s love to the glamorous torero Escamillo.

Music
Carmen by Georges Bizet (1875), with arrangement by Rodion Shchedrin (1967)

Divertimento No. 15:

Pairing perfection. The choreography showcases Balanchine’s brilliant use of space, and the geometric precision of his movement patterns and groupings. The music is one of Mozart’s greatest works, the epitome of 18th-century aristocratic music.
