The Barcelona Flamenco Ballet will perform the show “Carmen” next Friday, October 24, starting at 10 p.m., in the Black and Silver Room of the Estoril Casino.
It is precisely as part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of Carmen’s premiere that the Estoril Flamenco Festival presents a bold interpretation of this classic by the Barcelona Flamenco Ballet.
In its world premiere at the Estoril Casino, the Barcelona Flamenco Ballet presents a bold new recreation of “Carmen,” a vibrant performance that reinvents the timeless myth through the strength and passion of flamenco. This updated version transcends traditional boundaries, transporting the story to the 21st century, where Carmen continues to be a symbol of freedom and feminine courage in a world that remains unequal.
The narrative delves into the intense relationship between Carmen and the bullfighter Escamillo, exploring the protagonist’s love, desire, and tragic fate. Flamenco, in its most visceral expression, becomes the perfect vehicle to convey this storm of emotions, accompanied by an innovative musical fusion that combines opera music, jazz, and flamenco singing. The choreography is surprising, uniting the energy of flamenco dancing with the elegance of contemporary dance, creating a unique and unforgettable experience.
This show is not only a tribute to Bizet’s iconic work and the writer Prosper Mérimée, but also a tribute to the cultural richness of Barcelona, the city that inspired and influenced the author. The blend of styles and sensibilities transforms this Carmen into a new benchmark for modern flamenco, captivating lovers of opera, dance, and theater alike. An unmissable show that promises to thrill and surprise audiences.
