The Australian Ballet: Carmen

18 April @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

For those of us lucky enough to have caught the one-off Sydney performance of Johan Inger’s I New Then in 2022, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for: another work showcasing the Swedish choreographer’s unique contemporary voice. Set to Rodion Shchedrin’s brilliant arrangement of Bizet’s score, Inger’s retelling of Carmen, created in 2015, draws upon Mérimée’s original novel and examines the ugly manifestations of machismo through the eyes of a young boy. The winner of the Benois de la Danse in 2016, this is ballet on heat and not to be missed.

Limelight Editor’s Choice


Johan Inger’s award-winning production of Carmen is an exhilarating journey that thrusts Georges Bizet’s 19th-century opera into the modern world with a breathtaking display of athleticism and passion.

Created in 2015, Inger’s contemporary retelling of Prosper Mérimée’s 1845 novella is a darkly compelling story of the dangerously seductive Carmen, whose love affair with Don José ends in brutal tragedy. Broadening its gaze beyond its fiery heroine, Inger’s Carmen is seen through the eyes of a boy bewildered by the ugly manifestations of machismo.

Using Georges Bizet’s famous score, Inger has reimagined the classic opera, transporting it to dance in a fascinating production. Including sublime passages for soloists and duos and ensemble sequences of consummate virtuosity, Carmen brings you the heat of southern Spain in a powerfully unique production.

For those of us lucky enough to have caught the one-off Sydney performance of Johan Inger’s I New Then in 2022, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for: another work showcasing the Swedish choreographer’s unique contemporary voice. Set to Rodion Shchedrin’s brilliant arrangement of Bizet’s score, Inger’s retelling of Carmen, created in 2015, draws upon Mérimée’s original novel and examines the ugly manifestations of machismo through the eyes of a young boy. The winner of the Benois de la Danse in 2016, this is ballet on heat and not to be missed.

Limelight Editor’s Choice


Johan Inger’s award-winning production of Carmen is an exhilarating journey that thrusts Georges Bizet’s 19th-century opera into the modern world with a breathtaking display of athleticism and passion.

Created in 2015, Inger’s contemporary retelling of Prosper Mérimée’s 1845 novella is a darkly compelling story of the dangerously seductive Carmen, whose love affair with Don José ends in brutal tragedy. Broadening its gaze beyond its fiery heroine, Inger’s Carmen is seen through the eyes of a boy bewildered by the ugly manifestations of machismo.

Using Georges Bizet’s famous score, Inger has reimagined the classic opera, transporting it to dance in a fascinating production. Including sublime passages for soloists and duos and ensemble sequences of consummate virtuosity, Carmen brings you the heat of southern Spain in a powerfully unique production.
