Carmen
In this timeless tale of passion and peril, the seductive Carmen captures the hearts of two men, igniting a love triangle that spirals towards tragedy. Philadelphia Ballet’s Carmen—choreographed by The Ruth and A. Morris Williams, Jr. Artistic Director Angel Corella—is a raw and riveting exploration of desire, freedom, and betrayal, brought to life through the power and intensity of the dancers, and set to Georges Bizet’s iconic operatic score.

Georges Bizet was a French Romantic composer who is best remembered for his final work, the great and ever-popular opera, Carmen. Although Bizet won the coveted Prix de Rome when he was just nineteen, he received only moderate acclaim for his compositions during his lifetime. Fortunately, a number of Bizet’s pieces are performed frequently today, including arias from The Pearl Fishers (opera), incidental music for L’Arlesienne, and the Symphony in C, which had been moldering in the Paris Conservatory library for 78 years before it was rediscovered.
