The revival of Matthew Bourne's adaptation of Bizet's sizzling masterpiece Carmen, renamed The Car Man, is heading out on a UK tour! Aptly so, as Bourne transplants the action from 19th-century Spain to a 1950s American garage diner. First seen in 2000, The Car Man is one of Bourne and New Adventures' most popular works, delivering a dramatic and sumptuous retelling of the story of the infamous femme fatale, featuring dazzling choreography and a blazing score.

The ballet adaptation of Abbé Prévost’s novel L’Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut shows Sir Kenneth MacMillan at his very finest, attesting as it does to his profound insight into human psychology, choreographic craft and narrative skill. The artist admirably expresses the power of fateful love in the central characters’ impassioned duets.

O Fortuna, you are changeable as the moon. Thus begins and ends Carl Orff's most famous work, in which he reflects on the fleeting nature of fortune and the inescapable cycle of human destiny. Carmina Burana, an anthology of medieval songs, celebrates the beauty of spring, pays homage to life, and extols the power of love. With his music for these texts, Orff provides the foundation for a sensual Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art), deliberately placing the staging in the hands of directors and choreographers. Music, song, and dance are inextricably linked, and so the Spanish choreographer Alba Castillo and the dance company invite their colleagues from music theater, orchestra, and choir to a shared exploration of happiness, prosperity, love, and their transience.

The ensemble will present pieces in modern and neoclassical dance styles, showcasing the distinctive authenticity of each choreographer’s movement language—yet connected by the shared theme of the inner world, Czech roots, and the Czech spirit.
