"Dazzling imagery, original Flamenco music and dance infuse this passionate tale of the gypsy enchantress first introduced in Prosper Mérimée's novella.  A new musical adaptation directed by Cirque du Soleil director Franco Dragone," state press notes.  Carmen stars Ryan Silverman as Jose and Janien Valentine in the title role.
