GW Lisner Auditorium presents Antonio Gades Company: Carmen 9th Annual Flamenco Festival, DC
Based on Carlos Saura's Oscar-winning film and performed
by one of Europe's premier dance troupes,
Carmen is the masterpiece which catapulted choreographer Antonio Gades and his
company to international fame.
Carmen
stars over 30 dancers and musicians, including the earthy and sensuous Stella Arauzo, who appeared in many of Gades'
productions, and the formidable Adrian Galia, who has worked with the National
Ballet of Spain and Enrique Morente. The score includes some of the most
captivating melodies from Bizet's opera, plus music from the popular
zarzuela El Gato Montes.
