In collaboration with CarmenCo, The Telling presents Creating Carmen, a concertplay (where music and theatre collide) by award-winning writer Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated director, Nicholas Renton, performed by CarmenCo.
Prosper Merimée is struggling with his latest novella (on which Bizet’s Carmen is based), when his leading character, Carmen, turns up in his study, larger than life, with a band of musicians in tow and chaos in her wake. Which one of them controls the narrative? And what will happen when Carmen discovers the nasty ending Mérimée has planned for her?
A fun-filled evening of fantasy, comedy, drama and tremendous music from Bizet’s Carmen and Spanish-inspired music by Boccherini, Manuel de Falla, García Lorca, Granados, Ravel and Albeniz, all arranged and performed by the prizewinning trio, CarmenCo: Emily Andrews (flute/mezzo), David Massey and Francisco Correa (classical guitars).
