SBT teams up with SZSO in ballet Carmen
With music accompaniment by Suzhou Symphony Orchestra (SZSO), SBT staged its ballet Carmen at the Grand Theatre of Suzhou Culture and Arts Centre on Mar 17.
Adapted from the widely known opera Carmen created by renowned French composer Georges Bizet in 1874, the ballet tells the tragic love story between the Gypsy girl Carmen and the officer Don Jose in the early 19th century from a modern view, demonstrating audacious innovation in theatrical representation of classic works. Moreover, the music, dances, costume, props, scene design offered the audiences new artistic experiences.
