South Africa’s leading ballet company Joburg Ballet brings Carmen back to the Joburg stage for the first time in eight years, kicking off their 2018 season with ten performances of Bizet's dramatic love story.

A timeless tale of passion and betrayal set in southern Spain, this version of Bizet’s classic is choreographed by leading South African choreographer Veronica Paeper with live orchestral accompaniment from the newly relaunched Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Four ballerinas share the title role over the ten performances; Shannon Glover, Sanmarie Kreuzhuber, Claudia Monja and Monike Cristina while Carmen’s lover Don Jose is danced by Ruan Galdino, Leusson Muniz, and Revil Yon.

Joburg Ballet offers a range of affordable ticketing options including half price tickets on opening night and special matinee performances at 11:00 on Tue and Wed for which all tickets cost just R100.
