Description

Two (2) Orchestra Tickets to Any Performance of "Carmen" with City Ballet Orchestra and Chorus on May 3 or May 4, 2025, at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido.


City Ballet of San Diego’s 32nd season closes with two spectacular one-act ballets, with live music performed by the City Ballet Orchestra, John Nettles conducting.


This visually spectacular one-act production of Carmen, set in southern Spain, follows the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who is seduced by the wiles of the fiery Carmen. José abandons his childhood sweetheart and deserts from his military duties yet loses Carmen’s love to the glamorous torero Escamillo.


Choreography - Elizabeth Wistrich (1989)
Music - Carmen by Georges Bizet (1875), with arrangement by Rodion Shchedrin (1967)


Also features Divertimento No. 15
Pairing perfection. The choreography showcases Balanchine’s brilliant use of space, and the geometric precision of his movement patterns and groupings. The music is one of Mozart’s greatest works, the epitome of 18th-century aristocratic music.


Choreography - George Balanchine (1956)
Music - Divertimento No. 15 in B-flat major, K. 287by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1777)


Founded in 1993, City Ballet of San Diego is devoted to the advancement of ballet as a major art form in San Diego through performances, education programs, and community outreach.
