Carmen

My assistant, Mel Redmond, and I recently discovered a shared love of flamenco when a well-known singer and dance troupe visited the Wildflower Theater in Taos, an event that made me remember how much I loved Carlos Saura’s movies. A famed director in his native Spain, Saura died on February 10 and was best known for a trilogy of flamenco films—Blood Wedding, El Amor Brujo, and Carmen—made in collaboration with the extraordinary choreographer and dancer Antonio Gades. It’s the familiar story, immortalized as an opera by Bizet, brought to vivid life through fado and flamenco.
Come join us for the movie (it’s one hour and 40 minutes). Olé!
