The Royal Ballet's new production of Carmen from the legendary dancer Carlos Acosta, as he makes his retirement from classical dance.
Based on Bizet's much-loved opera, the ballet tells the tale of the sultry Carmen and her seduction of the soldier Don Jos茅, whom she eventually betrays in the arms of the handsome toreador Escamillo.
It is a night to remember - after almost 20 years with the company, Acosta is making his final performance on the main stage at Covent Garden.
Presented from the Royal Opera House by Darcey Bussell.
