Carmen Suite / Shchedrin - Dancers - Grant Park Music Festival

In 1967, Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso embarked upon a dance piece for the prima ballerina assoluta Maya Plisetskaya. It was to be inspired by the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. Alonso had trouble settling upon a composer for the project when the solution was right under his nose: the ballerina's husband, Rodion Shchedrin was a well respected Soviet composer. Soon, Shchedrin had produced the Carmen ballet.

Fast forward to 2021, in anticipation of the Grant Park Music Festival performance of Shchedrin's score, choreographer Melina Bezanis created this video short with fellow dancers Rayan Lecuriex-Durival, Virginia Santussi and Thibaut Witzleb. Enjoy!
