Carmen

Set to the music of Georges Bizet and live flamenco guitar, the Cleveland Ballet's new interpretation of Carmen promises to be "a tale of passion, romance, and sensuality." It centers on a Spanish gypsy woman (Dayneliz Muñoz) who seeks to save herself by seducing a certain Don Jose (Rainer Diaz). Russian guitar master Yury Nugmanov and Russian-American mezzo-soprano Zoya Gramagin are featured guests. Performances take place tonight at 8 and tomorrow night at 7 at the Ohio Theatre. Tickets start at $25. (Niesel)
