Carmen by The Antonio Gades Company

About

A Flamenco Ballet by Antonio Gades & Carlos Saura After the sold-out, acclaimed international tour in 2025, Stage Magic and City Lights Entertainment announce the return of Compañía Antonio Gades to Belgium and the Netherlands. In December 2026, the mythical spectacle CARMEN will be presented during an international tour through France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Inspired by Mérimée's book and Bizet's opera, Carmen marks the first collaboration between Antonio Gades and filmmaker Carlos Saura. To capture the essence of Andalusian culture, the Spanish choreographer has chosen a striking contrast between Bizet's extraordinary music and that of a live flamenco orchestra. 20 years after the death of the emblematic choreographer of Spanish culture, the Gades Foundation perpetuates his legacy at the highest level and continues to perform all over the world.

What to expect

Expect a warm, easy crowd — busy enough to feel alive, calm enough to talk. It suits a slow evening. No rush, no agenda.

The essentials

Pricing is moderate, and the event runs Thu 20:00. You'll find it at Capitole Gent — the surrounding blocks carry the same energy, so the night doesn't have to end at one address.
