The Meridian Season of Carmen 2010 - Auckland

Carmen’s allure is the stuff of legend. Sizzlingly seductive, few can resist her charms.

An electrifying contemporary ballet, set in modern day Rio de Janeiro, Carmen is guaranteed to set pulses racing.

This stylish, sensuous production featuring Didy Veldman’s powerful choreography has been hailed as “brilliant dance theatre “ and a “raunchy and fast-paced production not to be missed”.

Working in a cigarette factory by day and hanging out with a band of seedy small-time crooks at her local bar by night - follow the world’s most famous man-eating manipulator as she breaks hearts with her unscrupulous ways.
