Bizet's Carmen brings summer warmth to wintry Lewes.
The world's most popular opera - Bizet's Carmen - is here portrayed in Flamenco dance, song and guitar by the advanced students of Helena's Flamenco School supported by an international company comprising a leading male Flamenco dancer, singer and guitarist from leading Flamenco Company Cancion Gitana. Choreography is by Helena, principal dancer and choreographer with Cancion Gitana.
Blending scenes from the famous opera with scenes from one of the most famous recent film versions (Carlos Saura's Carmen), Helena's students capture the essential elements of this story of joy, passion, tragedy and death.
Despite never actually setting foot in Spain, Bizet created in his music and settings one of the most enduring images of Spain ever, this rumbustious production captures the searing heat and riotous colours, the joys and passions, the comedies and tragedies of the ill fated Gitana cigarette girl Carmen.
In a 120 minute spectacular of 20 scenes with many costume changes, projections and striking lighting, Carmen is a Flamenco dance theatre performance of a kind rarely seen on UK stages, a passionate and dramatic re-telling of the Opera.
