An actress-dancer (Laura del Sol, pictured) falls in love with her choreographer (Antonio Gades) as they prepare a production of Carmen; and life proceeds to imitaate art.

Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Passionate performances and fiery choreography (by Saura and Gades) combine to make this an unusually lively musical - principally indebted to Bizet (whose music propels the action), but with melodramatic overtones of Blood Wedding and The Red Shoes.
