Carmen

The Joffrey Ballet opens its 70th anniversary season with the U.S. premiere of Carmen—an epic story of love and betrayal set in 1930s Spain—reinterpreted by world-renowned choreographer Liam Scarlett. In this fiery ballet adaptation of arguably the world’s most popular opera, Scarlett brings a modernized intensity to Carmen. Don't wait on tickets—the Joffrey is staging just 10 performances of Carmen over two weekends.
