The story of an unbound Andalusian gypsy girl and Don José is a well-known classic. Based on music of Georges Bizet and Rodion Shchedrin, written and directed by Ján Ďurovčík, Slovak Dance Theatre’s Carmen is a fusion of libertine and conservative, Spanish and Slavonic, even including some folklore elements in the character of Escamillo.

Fast-paced situations are alternated by lyrical, intimate moments. Carmen by Slovak Dance Theatre has been successfully presented in world metropoles including Tokyo, London, Toronto, Ottawa, Beijing, Rome, Madrid, Amsterdam, Mexico City, Québec, Helsinki, Graz, and many others.
