Carmens Dance: A Fantasy of Spanish Flamenco and Opera

Carmen, as the title figure of the opera of the same name, has become a legend. Her name is synonymous with the passionate Spanish woman, love and jealousy, Seville, and ultimately with flamenco. Heading away from the beaten track, photographers Tina Deininger and Gerhard Jaugstetter have gone in search of the Carmen myth and have captured the authentic flamenco style in dramatic pictures. Music CDs: Vibrant flamenco guitars, Spanish orchestral works, and a selection from Bizet's Carmen. The main theme is performed by Jennifer Larmore under the direction of Guiseppe Sinopoli.
