Synopsis

It tells the story of the gypsy Carmen, who was made immortal by the writer P. Mérimée, a traveler through picturesque Andalusia in the 19th century. Carmen, a gypsy cigarette maker, possessing great beauty and a peculiar life, meets the fate of José, an exemplary soldier, destined for Seville, serious and compliant, becoming a deserter, bandit and murderer for her sake. Carmen’s changing feelings and the love triangle formed the moment Carmen sets her eyes on a famous bullfighter, lead to a fatal outcome. The adaptation for this Spanish Ballet shows a capricious Carmen with a firm conviction of freedom who lives her life according to her impulses, and bewitching the men who cross her path… fatality and tragedy will be her final destiny.
