Acosta Danza Carlos Acosta’s Carmen Tickets
Carlos Acosta triumphantly returns to the Sadler’s Wells stage to dance with his company of dancers in this passionate, classic tale of Carmen, reimagined with his irresistible Cuban flair. Book your tickets now!
About The Show
Don José falls in love with Carmen and sacrifices everything to be with her. When Carmen becomes infatuated with the toreador Escamillo she loses interest in Don José, whose love quickly turns to violent jealousy.
Carlos Acosta now presents and features in his own adaptation of Georges Bizet and Prosper Mérimée’s story. In his new version, the story’s universal and timeless themes are laid bare in a sparse and powerful setting.
Why It's Worth The Watch
Bizet’s Carmen is one of the most powerful operas ever written. Its gorgeous melodies have secured the opera’s hold on the popular imagination – Escamillo’s Toreador Song, Carmen’s Habanera, Don José’s Flower Song and many passages for orchestra and chorus are among the most widely known pieces of Western classical music. Figures as diverse as Marius Petipa, Roland Petit, Alberto Alonso, Mats Ek and Richard Alston have all been drawn to this tale of jealousy and desire.

It was amazing. The ballets were wondweful. I enjoyed it a lot :)
Absolutely fantastic. The dancing was amazing. The choreography was excellent. I really enjoyed this production. I saw Carlos Acosta’s 2015 production . This was even better.,Loved the Spanish music and dancing part too.
A superb performance !!!
The most enjoyable Carmen I have ever watched in my life. I have watched 4 different Carmen shows but this is my FAVORITE!!!! Especially Adria Diaz is the most beautiful dance on the stage. She has the perfect facial feature to be next Carmen. I would like to see her as Carmen next time.
Amazing dancing and modern interpretation of Carmen! It was wonderful how the Paso and flamenco moves were woven into the ballet. My only slight criticism was that the theatre was too hot.
Fantastic show with innovative Cuban influence enhanced Bizet’s masterpiece. Passionate and sexy - it was such a treat to witness Carlos last stage performance.
This was fabulous/fantastic - modern, affecting, beautiful. Highly recommend.
Thoroughly enjoyed the show??
An exquisite performance that held the audience spell bound.
This was such a highlight and I left the theatre enchanted.
Not quite as good as I expected I thought Carlos would have a bit more of a role in dancing
I thought this was a beautiful depiction of Carmen and loved the Cuban influences. Great staging and dancing - Carmen herself was fantastic
