Antonio Gades Company

The Spanish Antonio Gades Group will be on the Istanbul stage with the show "Carmen."

Antonio Gades became a legend all over the world with his works extending from the dance adaptation of Prosper Merimee's "Carmen" to the famous "Bloody Wedding" by Federico García Lorca. He keeps his legacy with a foundation he founded shortly before he died in 2004.

After its sold-out show on September 2, the Antonio Gades Company is returning to Athens's Herod Atticus Theater on Tuesday, October 10, for another performance of its critically acclaimed flamenco version of "Carmen," first presented in Paris in 1983.

Flamenco choreographer and dancer María Pagés will perform at Istanbul's CRR Concert Hall on Dec. 13.
 
An internationally-renowned artist for her personal aesthetic concept of the art of flamenco, Pagés began dancing professionally with the Antonio Gades Company.
