Seville’s vibrant beauty serves as the background for this tragic story of a fiery gypsy girl whose seduction of a naïve officer leads to rejection, jealousy, and ultimately death. CARMEN stays true to the story line and dramatic liturgy of the Opera. Condensed in one act and originally conceived and choreographed by Eric V. Cruz – be immersed in this intriguing world of seduction, betrayal and death as we follow Carmen and her naïve officer Don Jose in their journey of passion, distrust, rejection and murder.
