Real Carmen... from Tablao Albyzin.
I said already that flamenco is a rivalry of some women for love of the man performed in singing and dance. May be somebody will be disagree with me but it’s exactly what I felt during that performance and especially during it’s dancing part...
Many people know the story of Carmen, a Spanish gypsy girl from the opera by French composer Georges Bizet. Since the 1880s it has been one of the world's most performed operas and a staple of the operatic repertoire. Carmen appears as number four on Opera America's list of the 20 most-performed operas in North America... Someone red the novel by Prosper Mérimée who originally wrote this story, told him before by the Countess of Montijo during his visit to Spain in 1830. I’m not going to tell here that novel and only want to say that Merimee described Carmen as a gorgeous gypsy girl full of love and passion, loving freedom in all and never lost her pride even in front of death. He also described Carmen as a great dancer...
When I’ve been on Flamenco show in Tablao Albyzin, I payed attention on beautiful woman who was at that time among “clappers”. I had no idea, what’s her name... Later I saw her personal dance and it was the best among others. Finally she was the “winner” in love-rivalry and performed her dance with a man as her prize... When she performed her last dance I saw explosion of passion and... I saw Carmen, real Carmen...
