Carmen Ballet

St. Petersburg Classical Ballet.
Carmen Suite, is a one-act ballet created in 1967 by Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso, with music by Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin, adapted from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. This work was conceived for the outstanding Russian Prima Ballerina, Maya Plisetskaya and premiered on April 20, 1967 at the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow.

Shchedrin's music reinterprets Bizet's melodies, using an orchestration for strings and a wide variety of percussion instruments, bringing a new rhythmic and timbral dimension to the work. Although initially banned by the Soviet authorities as disrespectful to the original opera, Carmen Suite has become Shchedrin's most recognized work and has gained popularity throughout the world and especially in the West.
