The Carmen Suite is a one-act ballet created in 1967 by Cuban choreographer Alberto Alonso to music by Russian composer Rodion Shchedrin for his wife, prima ballerina assoluta Maya Plisetskaya. The music, taken from the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet and has been considered Shchedrin’s best-known work. It has remained popular in the West for what reviewer James Sanderson calls “an iconoclastic but highly entertaining retelling of Bizet’s opera.” Conducted by Andrés Orozco-Estrada featuring the Frankfurt Radio Symphony.
