Pictured: Natalia Osipova, Isaac Hernandez and Jason Kittleberger

In December UK audiences will be treated to the unique opportunity of seeing the thrilling Russian ballerina, Natalia Osipova, Principal of the Royal Ballet, in a brand new, contemporary dance production of CARMEN. The show will perform at the EICC on the 16th and the 17th December.
Multi award-winning Osipova will perform the title role of this classic tale in an exciting new version by internationally renowned choreographer and director Didy Veldman who has designed the production to be performed by five first class dancers – many of whom will be familiar to dance and ballet audiences. Joining Natalia in the cast are superstars Isaac Hernández and Jason Kittelberger, as well as emerging dance stars Hannah Eckholm, Estela Merlos, and Eryck Brahmania.

Director and choreographer Didy Veldman said “Natalia Osipova’s incredible movement range, theatricality, voice and personality will be exposed and explored so that audiences will get to know her as she shows her strength, vulnerabilities, passion and insecurities on stage. When I look at Natalia perform, I can’t help but see extraordinary parallels with the story and character of Carmen, but I’ve also got to know another side of Natalia, her delightful off-stage personality, her quick wit and her desire to explore different creative avenues which push her own superb creative talents.

In Didy Veldman’s Carmen reality and fantasy will combine with a strong physical movement language, theatricality and a quirky sense of humour. Performers will move in and out of character to create a dynamic performance throughout while quick costume changes will add to the entertainment.

World Premiere of the contemporary dance production of ‘Carmen’ will take place at the EICC in Edinburgh on 16th – 17th December.
