Carlos Acosta’s Carmen returns to UK theatres on a major new tour in 2026.

Carlos Acosta’s Acosta Danza triumphantly returns to UK theatres in 2026 with his passionate two-act dance production of Bizet’s Carmen, reimagined with Acosta’s trademark Cuban flair.

Carlos Acosta revives his acclaimed adaptation of Georges Bizet and Prosper Mérimée’s story, laid bare in a sparse and powerful new setting.

In Carmen, Don José falls in love with Carmen and sacrifices everything to be with her. When Carmen becomes infatuated with the toreador Escamillo she loses interest in Don José, whose love quickly turns to violent jealousy.

Carmen’s gorgeous melodies have secured the opera’s popular place in audience’s hearts, boasting Escamillo’s Toreador Song, Carmen’s Habanera and Don José’s Flower Song, in this epic tale of jealousy and desire.

Don’t miss this extraordinary dance production from Carlos Acosta.
