»Le Passion de Carmen«

Soprano Stella Motina and pianist Vera Bogdanchikova take the audience on an unforgettable musical journey through the south of Spain and explore the passion of Carmen. From Manuel de Falla’s »Seven Spanish Folk Songs«, which illuminate love in ever new facets, they move on to Dvořák’s »Cigánské Melodie«, which awakens the desire to dance. To the sound of castanets, the audience finally arrives in Seville and takes a break in the »Lillas Pastia« taverna. The best melodies from »Carmen« by Georges Bizet are played here. Carmen, the beautiful, self-confident woman, enjoys her freedom. An adventure unfolds: love, passion, jealousy and the prophecy of fate. The beating of the chords is reminiscent of the stamping of feet in flamenco, in which the woman seems to lift her heels to assert her personal independence. The exciting journey comes to an end, but of course the listeners can linger for a moment and prolong the melodic excursion. The artists have prepared something very special.
