In this timeless tale of passion and peril, the seductive Carmen captures the hearts of two men, igniting a love triangle that spirals towards tragedy. Choreographed by The Ruth and A. Morris Williams, Jr. Artistic Director Angel Corella, Carmen is a raw and riveting exploration of desire, freedom, and betrayal, brought to life through the power and intensity of the dancers, and set to Georges Bizet’s iconic operatic score.

Joining Carmen is Corella's Boléro. This ballet’s daring feats of athleticism entrance audiences with deliberate, percussive movements that build in a performance-long crescendo.
