With gorgeous movement from the famed Ukrainian dancers, this sizzling tale of lust and betrayal runs the gamut from passionate romance to tragedy.

Beware The Attentions of Carmen

The story follows Carmen, a fiery woman at odds with the conventions of Spain in the early 18th century. Able to seduce men with her dulcet tones and feminine wiles, Carmen ensnares the heart of Don Jose, who drops everything, including his betrothed Micaela, to be with her. When Carmen tires of her latest conquest, she leaves him for the handsome bullfighter Escamillo, setting off harrowing and ultimately fatal events fuelled by jealousy, obsession, and murderous rage.
