Spanish dance troupe Compania Flamenca Antonio Andrade will present “Carmen” at Children’s Palace on Thursday and Friday. The dance program is based on Bizet’s opera, which is famous for its brilliant melody, atmosphere and orchestration, and for the skill with which Bizet represents the emotions of his characters through music. 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 around 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 and Japan.
