Spanish dance troupe Compania Flamenca Antonio Andrade will present “Carmen” at the Shenzhen Concert Hall on Sept. 29.

    The dance show is based on Bizet’s opera which is famous for its brilliant melody, atmosphere, and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet musically represented the emotions of his characters.

    Antonio Andrade, the artistic director of Compania Flamenca Antonio Andrade, was born in Puebla de Cazalla near Seville, a village with a strong tradition of flamenco singing. Growing up in a family of flamenco aficionados provided him with a cultural upbringing in this ancient art form.

    Andrade began playing guitar at a very early age. Many of his tutors were flamenco guitarists.

    He has proven his talent during many tours all over the world. Concert tours with large-scale productions of “Viva Sevilla,” “Flamenco es mi Vida” and “Mi Carmen Flamenca” have taken him from Europe to the United States to Japan.
