Always vibrant and richly textured
Since her debut in 1875, Carmen, the titular character from Bizet's opera, has become a timeless cultural icon, inspiring generations of composers, choreographers, and writers to attempt to capture her elusive and alluring nature. Ballet Hispánico honors the powerful Spanish leading lady this season during its 55th Emerald Anniversary with Gustavo Ramirez Sansano's electrifying CARMEN.maquia. One of today’s most sought-after choreographers, Sansano's quintessential ballet invigorates this timeless tale with an unrelenting energy that leaves you breathless. Highly original and full of explosive movement, CARMEN.maquia is a bold reimagining of this tragic tale.
Ballet Hispánico, led by Artistic Director and CEO Eduardo Vilaro, is America’s premier Latino dance company, reimagining dance with joyful works that defy tradition. This milestone anniversary season features one of New York City's favorite Gala Performances and the return of the wildly popular En Familia/Family Matinee, where all seats in the house are $25 (fees included).
