Citie Ballet's season opener with Spanish themes and French passion. Paquita, choreographed by the godfather of classical choreographers Marius Petipa, was based on story of mistaken identity. A gypsy turns out to be of noble birth. Classical highlights from Act III will be presented. Carmen, the fiery tempestuous gypsy of the opera, receives a new contemporary interpretation, based on the original novel by Prosper MerimÈe, choreographed by FranÁois Chevennement.
