For the first time in Germany - the Italian State Theater "Balletto di Milano"!

The spectacular performance of "Carmen" in the exclusive production by Federico Veratti and Agnese Omodei.

The "Balletto di Milano" is celebrated as an ambassador of Italian ballet and is one of the most renowned theaters in Italy. The mastery of the dancers from Milan inspires audiences all over the world. The history of this theater spans 40 years of hard work and successful performances in Italy as well as on the most important stages in England, Ireland, Switzerland, Spain and France.

In 2017, the company was awarded the "Prize for Outstanding Achievement" - the Oscar of the Italian dance world.

The Balletto di Milano's production of "Carmen" is considered one of the theater's most impressive performances. The main character, Carmen, is a beautiful, extraordinary and passionate woman who is both desirable and indomitable. She stands up to anyone who tries to dominate her. Carmen realizes that the only way to live the way she wants is to submit to her fate and accept the death predicted by the cards. Tradition and modernity merge in Marco Pesta's energetic interpretation.

The elegant costumes, created by Italian designer Federico Veratti, are also an example of high art. The production breaks with traditional expectations and yet remains true to the story of Prosper Mérimée and the famous opera by Georges Bizet.

Duration: 90 minutes in two acts.
