With Bizet’s iconic classic, Wim Vandekeybus, one of Belgium’s leading choreographers, makes his debut as an opera director with Opera Ballet Vlaanderen. And he’s doing it in a big way. For the first time, all our departments are coming together in a single production: soloists, chorus, children’s choir, thirteen dancers from our company, four dancers from Ultima Vez, children from a karate school, and the symphony orchestra conducted by Keren Kagarlitsky.

Together, nearly two hundred artists bring this Carmen to life. Rehearsals are in full swing, but one thing is certain: this will be a Carmen to remember.
