Melbourne City Ballet’s touring season of the well-known Spanish tragedy, ‘Carmen’, will grace the stage of the Blue Mountains Theatre this weekend.
The evening will showcase the company’s beautiful artists as they perform their most signature work, showing audiences why the Melbourne City Ballet has grown such a strong following across the country over the past few years.
Reimagining ‘Carmen’ to Bizet’s famous score, Melbourne City Ballet’s Artistic Director Michael Pappalardo, brings to life an evocative opera ballet.
