Carmen (Spanish Language Edition) Synopsis

Awarded at the 2022 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. The Mérimée classic that Bizet brought to the opera is presented here in a new version, inspired by the choreography by Johan Inger for the Spanish National Dance Company. Discover the story of Carmen through the pure and crystal-clear eyes of a child.

I am nine years old. I love playing with my ball and my friend who is a corporal in the Alcalá Dragoon Regiment. My neighbor Carmen is the most beautiful woman I know. Everyone loves her, but she prefers to fly.

My neighbor Carmen works in the cigar factory outside my hometown. She is such a dazzling woman. When the siren sounds signal the end of the working day, the square gathers a huge crowd of admirers from all over. However, Carmen is a free spirit, and she always repeats the same motto: "Love is a rebellious bird that none can tame, and it is quite in vain that one calls it. If it suits it to refuse, nothing to be done, threat or plea.

An endearing story that will bring the little ones closer to the world of opera and dance and will invite readers to reflect on the true nature of love.

Premiado en los Moonbeam Children's Book Awards en 2012. El clásico de Mérimée que Bizet trajo a la ópera se presenta aquì en una nueva versión, inspirada en la coreografìa de Johan Inger para la Compañìa Nacional de Danza. Descubre la historia de Carmen a través de la mirada pura y nìtida de un niño.

Tengo nueve años, un balón del que no me separo jamás y un amigo que es cabo del Regimiento de Dragones de Alcalá. Mi vecina Carmen es la mujer más guapa que conozco. Todos la quieren, pero ella prefiere volar.

Mi vecina Carmen trabaja en la fábrica de cigarros de mi ciudad. Es una mujer tan deslumbrante que, cuando suena la sirena indicando el fin de la jornada, la plaza se llena de admiradores. Sin embargo, Carmen es un espìritu libre, y siempre repite: "El amor es un pájaro rebelde. No se lo puede domar fácilmente ni someter a ninguna ley. Por mucho que lo llames, no irá a ningún sitio al que no quiera ir".

Una historia que acercará a los lectores al mundo de la ópera y la danza y nos invitará a reflexionar sobre la verdadera naturaleza del amor.
