A Carmen revisited as a musical, with plenty of room for dance, hip-hop... It's a unique opportunity for young people to get to grips with the various trades involved in show business and to discover the stage.

Carmen Street is simply Bizet's score, but sung by musical theatre voices - and with plenty of contemporary dance.

In this adaptation, Bizet's Spain is replaced by a small suburban town for the first act, a whimsical Belleville cabaret for the second, and the Stade de France for the final act... Carmen is no longer the Andalusian cigar girl of Mérimée's novella, but a nurse in a hospital. Don José, her brigadier from Navarre, has become Youcef, a local policeman. As for Escamillo, he's traded in the bullfighter's banderillas for an international pop singer. In fact, he'll be opening the World Cup with a cover of Bizet's hit "Toréador"!


With the participation of students from the Conservatoire a Rayonnement régional de Nice, OFFJAZZ dance school students, AnimaNice children and lyric artists from the CFA (Centre de formation d'apprenti) de la Métropole Nice Cote d'Azur.



Preserving all the expressive power of Bizet's masterpiece, Jean-Philippe Delavault and his accomplices show us the tremendous topicality of Carmen's drama, making it accessible to everyone, especially today's youngsters, who can make it their own by singing all its hits while dancing hip-hop.
