Carmen Street, it is simply the partition ofBizet, but sung by musical voices – and with a lot of dance today.

In this adaptation, SpainBizetis replaced by a small suburban town for the first act, a fancy cabaret of Belleville for the second, and the stage of France for the final act... Carmen is no longer the Andalusian cigar of the news of Mérimée, but she is here nurse in a hospital. Don José, his brigadier in Navarre, became Youcef, a local policeman. For his part, Escamillo shone the banderilles of the toreador and turned into an international pop singer. It is also he who will make the opening of the world cup with a resumption of the tube ofBizet"Toréador"!

Preserving all the expressive force of the masterpieceBizet,Jean-Philippe Delavaultand his accomplices show us all the great news of the drama ofCarmen, making it accessible to all and especially to the youngest of today, who can take it by singing all his tubes while dancing hip-hop.
