CARMEN

About the show

In her production, the director and choreographer Gabriela Carrizo sets out to explore the identity and motives of this quasi-mythical woman. As in her creations for her Peeping Tom dance theatre company, notable for their intense physicality, multilayered meanings and poetic power, she zooms in on the psyche and unconscious of the characters. The Utopia Orchestra and Chorus are conducted by Teodor Currentzis, who has led five previous opera productions in Salzburg. Asmik Grigorian, Jonathan Tetelman, Kristina Mkhitaryan and Davide Luciano take on the main roles. The premiere of the new production takes place on 26 July at the Großes Festspielhaus, followed by seven further performances through 26 August.
