A red dress. It hints of passion, jealousy, desire. That one red dress, clinging to a beautiful dancer, embodies all of the elements of Carmen, the classic tragic tale of the Gypsy and her obsessive lover. State Street Ballet's full-length production is told through contemporary ballet, with both classical and modern influences, choreographed by William Soleau to the rich score by Georges Bizet.
State Street Ballet, a vibrant and innovative dance company based in Santa Barbara, is known for melding familiar story lines with exciting movement to give familiar tales a modern, passionate, and unique twist.
The ballet features costume design by A. Christina Giannini, scenic artwork by Stefania Piazzo, lighting and set design by Mark Somerfield.
