The tragic love story between the spirited Carmen and the sergeant Don José, which first appeared in 1847 as a French novella by Prosper Mérimée, inspired the composer Georges Bizet to write his famous opera »Carmen« in the early 1870s. Right at the beginning, the music reveals that the passionate, independence-striving Carmen and the socially conformist and easily jealous Don José do not fit together and will eventually carry out a deadly conflict. Exotic milieu, which finds its musical expression in a special colourfulness of the score, fiery rhythms and, last but not least, an exciting plot made Bizet's opera immortal.
The Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin has translated large parts of Bizet's score – including highlights such as Carmen's Habanera or the bullfighter Escamillo's Torrero song – into an effective version for string orchestra and percussion. Ballet director Ivan Alboresi uses this arrangement as inspiration for his new narrative ballet, in which he recreates the Spanish love story, enriched with additional music, together with his ballet TN LOS! dancing for his audience.
