Carmen at Draíocht

Ballet Ireland is delighted to announce its autumn 2013 production of ‘Carmen’. Set to Bizet's passionate score, 'Carmen' follows the story of a young, naïve soldier Jose, who is bewitched by the beautiful and fiery gypsy, Carmen. Obsessed and reckless, Jose turns his back on respectable life to be with her. But Carmen, like love, is a bird that cannot be tamed and Jose's desire to posses her eventually destroys them both. Passion, drama and colour in abundance! Ballet Ireland's talented dancers will sizzle in this fantastic new ballet. Bizet's music is pure dance.
