About

"Jamais Carmen ne cédera!” (Carmen will never give up!) Seville knows it all: Carmen will never give up because she was born free and will die free. From 5 July to 7 September, the rebellious gypsy (conceived by the pen of author Prosper Mérimée, and made immortal by the music of Georges Bizet) will return to haunt the Arena for nine evenings. The show will feature the historic stage design by Franco Zeffirelli, with costumes by Anna Anni and choreography by El Camborio.

 

With the extraordinary participation of Compañia Antonio Gades.
