Carmen is the stuff of legend. Ruthless, fiercely independent and passionate, she manipulates every situation to her favour.
Performed to Georges Bizet's classic score, the Royal New Zealand Ballet brings to life the story of the world's most famous man-eater in a vibrant, contemporary dance work.
Set in the metropolis of modern-day Rio de Janeiro, Carmen works in a cigarette factory by day and hangs out with a gang of low-life criminals by night. When José makes the mistake of falling in love with Carmen, things spiral out of control. As José's world falls apart, Carmen's desire to live life on her terms sets a course that can only lead to disaster.
Choreographed by Didy Veldman for the UK's Northern Ballet Theatre (Dracula), Carmen is dramatic dance theatre at its best.

@AnnieEpic It sounds like gay4pride was rejected when he auditioned for the RNZB.

@gay4pride Yeah you couldn't be more wrong

[AnnieEpic]

@gay4pride I think you need to do some more research about the RNZB. They are critically acclaimed world wide and have one of the best reputations of any ballet company in the world. People travel from all over the world to audition for them.

New Zealand ballet is not low quality. The RNZB is very, very talented, and the dancers ALWAYS perform to a very high standard. New Zealand ballet is amazing. :)

i have seen this ballet proformed by the RNZB it is the best ballet ever

and what makes it even better is that the RNZB is one of the best dance companies in the world!!!

[gay4pride]

New Zealand ballet is low quality.. low skilled, too obvious, extra stuffs,,,lack of expressions.. maybe because of their indulgent about themselves. they need more practice, need to learn basic skills, ,, heaps of things to learn and understand about CLASSIC BALLET. They can't do New Zealand original ballet. At least, they have to follow the examples of legitimate ballet. like Paris Opera ballet or Royal ballet in UK. Ballet should be stoic. Not like New Zealand ballet!
