The Miami City Ballet has modernized the classic opera 'Carmen' by introducing a poker theme inspired by the film 'Molly's Game'. In this new rendition, choreographer Annabelle Lopez Ochoa presents Carmen not just as a seductress, but as a card dealer who gains power through underground poker games. This twist aims to provide contemporary audiences with an engaging and visual experience that combines drama and entertainment. The production runs until May 4, revealing a fresh perspective on the traditional love story.
I wanted her to become a card dealer and then slowly in the ballet she becomes more and more powerful and then show runs her own poker games.
Instead of just being a love story, I wanted her to become a card dealer and then slowly in the ballet she becomes more and more powerful.
It's also going to be a celebration for the eyes. I want to give them drama, sexiness and entertainment.
The ballet portrays Carmen as an influential central figure, much like Molly Bloom from the film Molly's Game.
