ONLINE FLAMENCO HISTORY CLASSES

CARMEN Y EL FLAMENCO

All the passion wrapped up in a knife —

Explore how this weapon ties together flamenco and the doomed fate of Carmen in the famous opera by Bizet.

Award-winning author, flamenco critic, and historian Juan Vergillos explains how Bizet’s Carmen catapulted flamenco into the limelight in the 19th century. And, he guides us through the history of flamenco with clips and photos of many of the interpretations of Bizet’s Carmen during the last 150 years.
